John Thain: The One Bonus That Can *Never* Be Clawed Back




Dealbreaker’s own Bess Levin writes: When people think of Jonathan Alexander Thain, as people surely often do, lots of thinks come to mind. High school wrestling. Competitive bee-keeping. Masterful stewardship of Wall Street firms. $68,179 19th Century Credenzas. $35,000 commodes. $28,091 curtains. $87,784 area rugs. $1,405 garbage cans. A keen eye for interior design and fabulous taste in general. Though we knew the current CIT Group chief executive officer was a father, we probably wouldn’t have included his parenting skills on a list of his noted attributes and accomplishments, only because there are so many to mention and we didn’t know if he excelled as a dad like he did as a decorator. Apparently this represents a gross oversight because John Thain? Is a phenomenal dad. Award-winning, in fact….

Forget about the $87,000 area rug and the $16,000 commode.  This brings a tear to the eye, doesn’t it?  More? Go to http://dealbreaker.com/2012/04/john-thain-finally-gets-the-recognition-he-deserves/?utm_source=Dealbreaker&utm_campaign=Dealbreaker_Daily_04_27_2012&utm_medium=email
