If reports that the new CEO of Hewlett-Packard has received - among other 'compensation' - a (promised/guaranteed?) bonus of between 200 and 500 per cent of his basic salary one has to wonder what the meaning of the word bonus is.

It is also a slap in the face for the many employees of a company that make a contribution to the success of a business.
