Apparently, in a SEC filing made by eBay today, the company has offered a job to Scott Thompson. Thompson, if approved by the eBay Board, will be SVP, CTO of PayPal. What is interesting about the filing is the section detailing Thompson's employment as "at-will". In this case, either Thompson or eBay may terminate the employment without advance notice.
Looks like this employment clause is the wave of the future. Can you imagine if elected officials were employed 'at-will'? Wouldn't it be great to remove a 'stupid, crooked, evil, immoral, pathetic or just-ugly' politician without any advance notice? Now, that would be directed democracy at its finest! No more stupid 'representative democracy' of by the rich, by the powerful, against the poor and desolute, and only a democracy of the people, for the people and by the people. Wouldn't that be sometime to dream about???
Getting back to Thompson and eBay. Good luck to Scott and I hope that Meg will keep you on your toes! Gee, is this a signal to buy eBay or sell eBay?
