What you do with your financial reward is a different subject.

Do you consider honestly is defined by legality or some other measure?

I can tell you that the year Michael Eisner gave himself $500M out of
Disney was a good year for Disney and Eisner did have a huge hand in
Disney's revival.

But it was glutinous and a horrible precedent to set.

The greedy assholes who get paid enormous sums to ride a company into
the ground don't have a moral or ethical leg to stand on, but for now
at least, it's still legal.

Is that what you consider honest?

Not intended as a slight to you, I'm truly interested.


That's a tough question to answer because who is qualified to assign
morality to a number?
I am not. I don't think you are either. You may have an opinion, as well
as I, but I'll bet the numbers are different.

"Honest" to me means that you earned what you did legally AND did not take
advantage of or gain your success at the expense of someone else. You run
a business. You must have heard the corny cliché about the best contract is
one that is fair to each party.
