Actual Wage

It's interesting that EMC say "a 10% wage decrease" but don't actually say what his wage is, isn't it ...

According to this http://www.byteandswitch.com/document.asp?doc_id=85912 as of 2005, his wage was $1 million.

"As reported earlier this year, Tucci earned a 2004 base salary of $1 million, plus a cash bonus of $1.88 million."

As of 2009, let's estimate conservatively that his wage didn't increase, so that he's still on $1 million + $1.88 million.

10% wage decrease = $0.8 million base wage + $1.88 million bonus

so, in total, he will get a (measly) $2.68 million this year.

I mean, that's outrageous, how can a man be expected to live on $2.68 million per year ??? It's not fair, are they trying to make this man a pauper ??? Tucci is clearly feeling the pain of this recession far far far more than you or I. Have sympathy for the man, that 10% reduction is going to destroy his life !!!
