Trujillo Slices Millions Off Bottom Line
Sol Trujillo�s effort in wiping $16 billion off the value of Telstra has been rewarded with a $2.58 million bonus.
The American chief executive officer's first year at the half-privatised Telco was marked by the worst profit performance since it listed on the Australian stock market nine years ago.
Telstra recorded an end of financial year profit of $3.18 billion, down 26 percent on the previous.
Part of the bonus pocketed by Trujillo came for delivering on a strategic plan, highlighted by his intention to punt more than 12,000 employees.
Around 3800 fulltime positions were shed in his debut sacking season.
Trujillo's effort in tripling his $3million base salary, pales by his efforts at US companies.
Last week, mainstream Australian media leapt on Workers Online revelations that Trujillo had snared a $95 million go-away payment from American telco US West.
The company shelved plans for a $4 billion broadband network after 12 months of wrangling with its majority shareholder, the federal government, and regulators.
Telstra shares dropped to $3.80, last week.
