No, A good one is worth the money.A good one negotiates his salary, and terms, its the guys who hire them that make most of the things that rankle me. If the CEO is incompetent, and even if he gets fired, and has astrnomical benefits afterwards, its not his fault, you asked him to work for you.Those golden parachutes were and are your resposibility, live with it, you brought it on yourself when you signed the contact.If you're dumb enoughto give away the store, you should not have even started the business.
