annieaamrm - This is true, started with John Roth buying up all the companies trying to keep up with Cisco, then on the the crook Frank Dunn who cooked the books. But had Zeroman and his cronies, and the BoD henchment kept the two Gary's we'd be a much different company today. No, not all the blame should be put on Zeroman, but he's just as big if not bigger liar than the previous crook CEO's.

I worked for them in the late 80's I liked it a whole lot best place to work back then,And family day wow that was a blast I guess all good things must end sad, It was a very nice co

You are a master chef, my friend.

nerdlywehunt - I worked at NORTEL, started off in Canada and they transferred me here to RTP to than lay me off serveral years later. I have to say that the cost per employee in RTP was one of the highest and I do know that in general (job for job) salaries paid were higher in the US vs in Canada. Also, at the time that I was laid off the serverances in RTP somewhat matched what the employees in Canada got. Hard to compare the two as what may be a benefit in the US, is somewhat government funded in Canada(by peoples tax dollars) I believe that NORTEL evaluated (past tense as I've heard sererances were cut this past January) serverances in all countries to determine what it should/needed to include.

love to see what his "exit" package was worth? was it listed anywhere?

i agree these worthless ceo's are ruining not only our country's business profiles, but helping send our government into headlong debt itself.

i have posted many times about "generational indigence" ruining our government.........and i now have to add to the wealthy to list.

Over paid useless CEO's are destroying this country. They are not worth the pay they get, while the real workers get paid little to nothing, and half the time the (CEO'S) are not even working. I say get rid of all CEO'S and companies would do a lot better.

where's the news coverage on being the 4th highest taxed state in the nation WRAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

having jim hunt on the board is enough to ruin any company..
