3 Years of Service
I read that some are clockwise and some are counter-clockwise, so they have to find a mate with the same rotation. I don't recall if it was different within species or just between species, e.g., are all mallards clockwise, or do they go both ways (no, not like that...)?
That's something so many folks just don't understand or even take the time to try to understand. The manner of compensation also comes into play: the cash element is generally relatively small in comparison to the overall package. Options, appreciation rights, and equity grants usually play a much bigger role - often more than 90% of overall potential compensation - and those are earned based upon the company's performance metrics. If the company does well, much of that will be attributed to the CEO (as well as other C-level employees), and their incentive comp will reflect that; by the same token, if the company doesn't do well or meet metrics, that will also be attributed to the CEO and incentive comp will be severely reduced or entirely withheld - don't meet the mark, don't get the comp. I used to have to gather and calculate all of that shit and provide it to the CFO and HR folks.
