English to Portuguese: US: Companies Cut Holes in CEOs' Golden Parachutes General field: Bus/Financial Detailed field: Business/Commerce (general)
Source text - English Top executives at Double Eagle Petroleum Co. signed employment agreements this month that curtailed a time-honored executive perquisite: the executives don't get severance in cases of "poor performance."
Sigmund Balaban, a Double Eagle director, says the board wanted to make sure departing executives deserve the money they walk away with. He jokes that the new severance plan is a "golden parachute with a hole in it."
Double Eagle's contracts show one company's attempt to solve a persistent compensation problem: rich severance packages for failed executives.
The issue flared anew last week, with news that Daniel Mudd and Richard Syron, the ousted chief executives of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, could be due as much as $24 million combined, after the government took over the companies. Several lawmakers, including U.S. presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama, asked regulators to review or reduce the payments.
Translation - Portuguese Altos executivos da Double Eagle Petroleum Co. assinaram este mês contratos de emprego que limitam uma regalia consagrada no meio: o recebimento de indenizações em caso de demissão por baixo desempenho.
Sigmund Balaban, um dos diretores da Double Eagle, declarou que a diretoria quis garantir que executivos demissionários merecessem o dinheiro recebido. Ele brincou que o novo plano de indenizações é um "paraquedas de ouro com um furo no meio".
Os contratos da Double Eagle mostram a tentativa da empresa em resolver um problema persistente de compensação: altos pacotes de indenização para executivos fracassados.
O assunto voltou à tona semana passada, com as notícias de que Daniel Mudd e Richard Syron, demitidos da Fannie Mae e da Freddie Mac, iriam receber, juntos, quase $24 milhões depois da intervenção do governo nas empresas. Vários legisladores, incluindo o candidato presidencial Sen. Barack Obama, pediram aos órgãos reguladores revisassem ou reduzissem os pagamentos.
