Big losses for bosses

You hear that, C-level executives? It has been coming for some time now. The footsteps are getting louder. Rationality is catching up to your inflated stock option compensation facades. We are all waking up to a sensible reality that you aren't worth what you have tried to convince us you are. More importantly, we are learning that executives are dramatically influenced by their organizational context as well! Kudos to Sanders and colleagues for a great piece of research! We can only pray that corporate America takes it seriously.

Bottom line: as the novices and future retirees put money in the front door (props up the price of stocks since the market is a legal ponzi) the insiders and wall streeters take it out the back door.(excess compensation and stock options, buying own over priced company stock at market prices to keep the ponzi going rather than rewarding employees, overpaying for acquisitions and booking it as blue sky goodwill). Be ye careful, investors.
