Nice Work If To Can Get It

According to Reuters, outgoing eBay Inc. CEO John Donahoe will trouser $23m when he steps down in 2015 after the eBay PayPal divorce. This is presumably on top of the package of salary, perks and stock options he already enjoys as the head of the currently united company.

Not bad at all, clockboy. Somehow I have a feeling I chose the wrong job!

Not bad !

And I just learned a new expression : "to trouser" 

Thank you ! :)

Nice one frenchie, it is a very elegant way of "earning" without "pocketing". 

 

Here is another one for you though: for Christmas shopping we "shred" lots of money (not shed)! Just thinking about us normal people and January bills -- couldn't resist! :)

 

Hopefully you'll be stirred in the right direction with the language! :)

 

Cheers,

I see your point Clockboy but it is a private company and ultimately we don't have to use them. What really effs me off is when some faceless undeserving **BLEEP** (who would not get employment in the private sector) gets a huge pay-off from the public sector which we have to pay for - questions asked but none answered!
