Home Depot 的 CEO Bob Nardelli 被 fire 了...
>> 2007/01/06
Home Depot 的 CEO, Bob Nardelli, 被董事會開除了。雙方達成了協議，為了讓 Bob Nardelli 離職的條件，公司決定付給他 $210 Million。
很多人可能不知道 Home Depot 是什麼鬼。Home Depot 是世界第三大的零售業者，僅次於 Wal-Mart 和家樂福。很多人可能也不知道 Bob Nardelli 是誰。當年他曾經參與 GE 的 CEO 競逐，是 Jack Welch 的三個接班人選之一，後來因為 Jack Welch 挑中 Jeffrey Immelt 之後決定離開，前往 Home Depot 擔任 CEO。(另一個熱門接班人選，James McNerney，後來前往 3M 擔任 CEO，之後又在 2005 坐上波音公司的 CEO)
背景交代完畢，以上都不是重點。
那麼重點是什麼？
重點是那個離職的 package！
如果今天你老闆要開除你，他會怎麼作？每家公司的做法不盡相同。有的馬上請警衛盯著你收拾打包，有的會通知你明天不要來。守規矩的按照勞基法來不會胡搞瞎搞，差勁的偷偷暗地猛吃你豆腐你也不見得知道。
你有沒有聽說過，老闆為了求你離職，付給你一筆錢請你早點走？而且這筆錢可不小，接近台幣七十億。我想大部分人聽到這個條件，都會說：「拜託，給我這筆錢，我希望被這個老闆開除！」是的，Bob Nardelli 就是這麼做了。
真的要我說的話，這種事情跟土匪打劫股東的錢沒什麼兩樣... 當年他當紅，所以各種好的合約都談的出來。現在董事會發現路遙知馬力，原來這傢伙不見得這麼有本事，請神容易送神可難了。
在股票市場，買在最高價的人，都是最後一刻忍不住衝進場，不計代價只怕買不到股票的那些人。賣在最低點的，也都是在一片哀嚎遍野聲中，不計代價只希望拿回一點本錢的人。一樣的人性心裡，放在董事會和 CEO談薪資的條件的時候，一樣適用。

With the ink not yet dry on its purchase, Chrysler LLC has named the controversial former Home Depot CEO Bob Nardelli as the new chairman and CEO, says a source familiar with the situation.
Chrysler’s new majority owner, Cerberus Capital Management LP, was expected to announce the appointment Monday morning. A press conference was scheduled for Monday morning in Auburn Hills, Mich.
Nardelli, 59, served as the head of Home Depot from 2000 through January 2007, when he resigned. He left the retailer with a $210 million severance bonus.
The move was a surprise for two reasons. First, Chrysler had been expected to name former COO Wolfgang Bernhard to the top job. Bernhard was offered the title of non-executive chairman, but declined for personal reasons, says the source familiar with the situation. He is not expected to continue working with Cerberus.
Second, Chrysler already had a CEO -- Tom LaSorda. The source told Automotive News that LaSorda would remain as vice chairman and president. The UAW and Ron Gettelfinger were consulted about the management moves, the source noted.
“Bob Nardelli is one of the top five CEOs in the world,” the source said. “We were lucky … to get him. He can benefit from Tom LaSorda’s experience.”
Cerberus was attracted to Nardelli’s retailing background -- experience that could help Chrysler improve its strained relations with dealers.
上面是automotiveNews的最新報導，如何?
如何？
我不太知道你想問什麼。Cerberus 僱用 Nardelli，不會改變 Home Depot 被吃豆腐的事實。
只要 Cerberus 付給 Nardelli 的 package 夠好，而 Nardelli 能夠替 Chrysler 創造出足夠的 value，我實在看不出來這個新聞有什麼可以「如何」的。
