Absolutely minted

Yahoo! chief Carol Bartz has endured some unwanted publicity recently after it emerged she's cashed in more than $2m worth of stock since being hired to revitalise the company's fortune's nine months ago.

The Guardian reports that a number of other top executives have also made a mint. Some investors are reportedly less than happy and employee morale is rumoured to be suffering.

Bartz is known for keeping her cards close to her chest, with employees disclosing company info reportedly threatened with being "drop-kicked to ****ing Mars", (a comment swiftly leaked to the press).

My employees once got a bit tetchy when they heard I'd sold a chunk of Dodgi stock. They calmed down when they found out I made just enough to fund the yearly team day
out to Margate.
