Corporate Greed Profile: Lowes CEO, Robert A. Niblock

THE HUMANITY!!!!!

In the bizarre world of corporate greed and selfishness that has come to define our times, Robert Niblock saw his income go UP 11% at the same time Lowe's income fell by 22% and our economy teters on the brink of a depression.

The top brass at Lowes were fully aware that 2008 would be a disaster so they decided to base their pay on easily achievable low-ball targets.

$6.6 million AND a private Jet Mr. Niblock made $6.6 Million Dollars last year while employees were laid off and their stock price fell through the floor. To add insult to injury, private Jets are mandated in his contract for safety, health and security reasons.

Just like the Auto Industry, Lowes has yet to figure out that its executives can fly first class at a fraction of the price and save thousands of jobs a year for hard working people who are the back-bone of the company.
