Excessive pay
To the editor:
I have been reading about AIG and awhile back I was reading about Westar and the severance and bonus packages these corporate employees get even if they have been in the positions for a short period of time, and I wonder how this could happen. No wonder the cost of living is so outrageous since we have to pay the cost of the millions and billions of dollars to pay for those packages. The worst is the ones that get fired because of their performances and we still give them compensation. I think Americans need to stand up and say that is not acceptable.
