The shareholders are willingly paying this money because they believe it's the best way to turn the company around.

It's their money, and their decision.

Where do you get off say "are WE going to allow it?". Who the hell are you?

This whole thread is people who don't understand the context of these decisions. The public has no say.

In the US yes, but it doesn't _have_ to be like that.

If you are saying that the State should tell companies how to spend their money on internal management... then you don't really believe in private property at all.

These people are spending their own money to turn the company around. Who the F is the State to tell them they are doing it wrong? Who the F are you to tell them to spend their own money differently?
