This might be a very merry Christmas for Hank McKinnell (the former CEO of Pfizer). As the article from TheStreet.com illustrates he’s going to leave Pfizer a "richer" man than he was before he arrived. His package will total close to $200 million. Not bad for…well, you decide for yourself how good he was and whether he’s worth $200 million.
For the record, if you make customers, employees, and shareholders money then you’ve earned your windfall. If you perform and produce results you should be paid accordingly. If you don’t, we have some nice parting gifts for playing. Pfizer’s results speak for themselves.
Merry Christmas Hank.
