TALKING BIZ NEWS EXCLUSIVE
TheStreet.com has struck an agreement with co-founder Jim Cramer where his 2010 salary raise won’t take affect until July 1 and his potential 2010 bonus will be lowered.
In addition, Cramer, who is also the host of the CNBC show “Mad Money,” agreed that his target bonus for 2010 would be $1.287 million, less than the $1.4 million — or 75 percent of his base pay — that was originally targeted in the original employee agreement.
The employee agreement also gives Cramer 22,000 restricted stock units, vesting one-third of the units each year.
Last month, TheStreet.com restated its earnings for 2008.

Interesting. this part time CEO of a struggling company thinks it benefits shareholders to pay yourself over $3 Million for the year. For the 9 months ended September 2009 the company had lost a mere $34 Million. Clearly Cramer is well worth his pay giving such value to shareholders.
Outside of that pump a couple years back when David Rocker had to unload his shares the company has done little for shareholders which makes you wonder why anybody still buys it.
