Anyone note the "I expressed my DESIRE that it be distributed among hardworking employees?" To me that sounds pretty empty. How about actually making it happen, Ms. Meyer? It would be a lot more palatable if she said she's distributed her bonus among YAHOO employees, full stop.

The CEOs salary and bonus is negotiated by the board. What happened here is the board decided to not pay her, and she asked them to distribute it to the employees instead. It's not her pay to do anything with anymore.

In corporations, the CEO reports to the board of directors. She can't redistribute compensation that has been docked from her.
