Agree 100%. The comp committee should have smacked this back in Page’s face if they didn’t support it. What’s more likely (guessing here) is that they didn’t want to pick a fight with the company’s founder and potentially set themselves up for a legal fight with Rubin (Page, like all company officers, can legally bind the company to a contract regardless of approvals, so Rubin would probably have a case here if they tried to renege). Anyone else would have been fired for pulling this stunt. Firing the co-founder of Google for breaking the rules - well, I guess he called their bluff.
