I think the Chairman of the Board is trying to payoff Niblock's parachute as CEO to go away that includes his crew of Executives. They are cutting a lot of payroll expense and all other benefits etc.' to break even the cost for his retirement. CEO makes Deals when they get hire in as CEO. What ever this golden parachute for Robert Niblock payout will also be the excuse to cover up all the expense control the will have to do.
Yup, @NTaeAv4-8kcy, this sounds about right. We end up doing work of five people for the salary of one to cover those costs. They got me to a point where I am about ready to leave Lowe's on my own, which I am sure is the point.
