Hot off the Press - Another eBay Executive packs it in
Auctionbytes-NewsFlash, Number 1270 - May 02, 2006 - ISSN 1539-5065 eBay Chief Operating Officer Steps Down By Ina Steiner AuctionBytes.com May 02, 2006 eBay announced that Chief Operating Officer Maynard Webb plans to retire from the company in August 2006. Webb is responsible for corporate operations, including the legal, human resources, and corporate technology functions. Mike Jacobson, General Counsel, and Beth Axelrod, Senior Vice President of Human Resources, will report directly to eBay CEO Meg Whitman. In 1999, Webb joined eBay as President, eBay Technologies, and in June 2002, he was named COO of eBay Inc. Prior to joining eBay, Webb was senior vice president and CIO at Gateway, Inc. He also worked as CIO at Bay Networks and managed technology operations at Quantum, Thomas Conrad, Figgie International, and IBM. eBay has no plans to fill Webb's role. Corporate technology will be jointly managed by Matt Carey, Chief Technology Officer, eBay Marketplaces, and Scott Thompson, Chief Technology Officer, PayPal. Since last Fall, eBay has seen several top-level executives transition roles or step down. Among them: Rajiv Dutta, eBay's CFO (now President of Skype worldwide, an eBay subsidiary); Marty Abbott, eBay's Senior Vice President of Technology (resigned, now at Quigo); Matt Bannick, President of eBay International (who will be transitioning out of that role later this year in order to spearhead eBay's initiatives in corporate philanthropy) Alex Kazim, eBay's Senior Vice President of New Ventures (now heading several new business areas at Skype); Henry Gomez, head of eBay Corporate Communications (now head of Skype North America); Lynn Reedy, CTO of eBay Marketplaces Product & Technology (resigned).

Quote:eBay has no plans to fill Webb's role. Corporate technology will be jointly managed by Matt Carey, Chief Technology Officer, eBay Marketplaces, and Scott Thompson, Chief Technology Officer, PayPal. I was hoping they'd bring in an outsider to fix some of the glitches instead of giving the job to the 2 head glitchmakers.

What it is, is... the Megster and Cobbster are gonna absorb the left over salary for themselves... [/quote] ...to make up for the huge decrease in the value of the stock and stock options they've received over the past 16 months as eBay's stock has fallen from 60 to 34. Meg's total compensation ($10M) last year was only about 1/3 of what it was in 2004...all because of the stock's decline.  eBay's falling stock price is probably one of the main reasons for the number of executives that have left since their compensation packages are heavily based on stock and stock options. Getting a job at Google and a handful of its stock options is probably looking a lot more attractive to many ebay executives these days than remaining at eBay.

Re: Hot off the Press - Another eBay Executive packs it in
ebay has dug it's own grave and let me one of the first to spit on it.
Not because I've paid them thousands over the years. Because I have NOT. But because of how they have treated ALL their paying customers at all levels. I would still love to see Meg and team up on securities, anti trust and insider trading charges.

Meg's total compensation ($10M) last year was only about 1/3 of what it was in 2004...all because of the stock's decline.
