$200 million seems like a lot

For some reason it is easier to cap the damages for medical malpractice victims than it is to cap CEO pay. Robert Nardelli of Home Depot takes the prize this month for taking home $200 million dollars for an stock that is down 13%. While Mr. Nardelli was rewarded handsomely for his non-performance which got him forced out of the company the bonus pool for 319,000 non-salaried workers at Home Depot was cut in half from $90 million to $44 million. That is $137.93 per worker.
