Tim Armstrong Just Opened A Meeting By Giving 150 AOL Execs $10,000 Bonuses

http://www.businessinsider.com/tim-armstrong-just-opened-a-meeting-by-giving-150-aol-execs-10000-bonuses-2011-12?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+businessinsider+%28Business+Insider%29

AOL hosts a "global operating meeting" twice a year.

It's holding one right this very moment in New York to firm up the company's plans for 2012.

A couple sources tells us that Tim Armstrong just opened the meeting by giving everyone in attendance – about 150 execs – a $10,000 bonus on the spot.

"About $1.5 million just for showing up!" says our incredulous source.

*end of quote*

Two thoughts: 1%, anyone ? And AOL execs getting a $10K bonus ?
