Tracking and Analyzing Executive Salaries, Bonuses, and Perks
# Friday, September 12, 2008
With some news coverage painting the current situation as a financial apocalypse, you might expect that CEO pay might temporarily cool-off given it is often pointed to as partially responsible for our problems. Fear not, CEO pay fans, things seem to be progressing as usual.

Washington Mutual Inc.'s (NYSE: WM) incoming CEO Alan Fishman is effectively guaranteed $12.65 million next year in addition to his $7.5 million signing bonus. Also, in case things go south for Fishman before the end of his first year even, he is guaranteed a golden parachute of $10.5 million for "termination without cause."

Turns out it is a bad time to hold WaMu stock, but a good time to be WaMu CEO.
