New hires were paid significantly less and were significantly less knowlegeable and motivated as a result of the changes implemented by his excellency. In a matter of a year, a vibrant and upbeat workplace turned into hellhole. Instead of leading associates, management became more like a police force. That said, I am sure it has all been, in the short run, profitable for HD and, of course, his excellency. However, I believe, customers take notice of the reduced quality without any savings for them . I was employed at a HD store during the transition into the Nardelli era.

What are you kidding with this philosophical dribble? The CEO is 'directly" accountable to share holders for VALUE, hence the generous compensation. To claim the stock was "overpriced" since 2000 is laughable but not laudable. Before you suggest (again) a bonus for "ole Bobbie" consider the shareholders ROI.........or would that be "just plain silly"? “…..need to separate between the analysis of a company and a stock”?
