Nah P-Day is correct, Pay-Day.
There'll already be hundreds of scammers and similar low life working out how to take advantage of this nonsense.
For those that have any level of technical literacy (including most of the kids) this means nothing and will be circumvented easily. For the naïve or plain lazy they'll get well and truly screwed in more than the way the idiots in parliament thought. I just hope that some of the politicians are among them.
Being ex of HP I find hard to believe anyone expected any better. The track record of CEO appointments would lead to only one outcome.
Sad thing is that we are seeing the end of what was an outstanding technology company and it looks like a death of a thousand cuts, or sell-offs anyway.
"but I think they were a good idea"
No fan of the ConLibs but while fools like Burnham spout such crap Labour clearly haven't got the message and in doing so not only are they a massive fail for themselves but they're denying the country an effective opposition that we desperately need.

Why would these people NOT be checked?

took, IIRC, $51.6m in the HP takeover?
I seriously hope that he doesn't get his snout in the trough for even more on "retirement" (although I guess he will turn up on a board somewhere else :-( ). Not bad for what? about twelve months as CEO since Jordan departed.
I recently left EDS in the last VR and really feel for my colleagues left back there... the so called corporate leaders all getting fat payouts while the staff that make the revenue get f*ck all. I personally know EDS'ers that have already gone 36 months between pay reviews. They now get told there's nothing until Feb 2010 AND just to boost moral the long established Service Awards have been cancelled from January.
Made me smile the last time acknowledged the company ethics..... wonder if Ron did?
