From what I was told he got $150 million from AT&T to retire. Took the seat on the GM board to give him something to do and was forced to take the CEO position because no one would deal with all the Obama BS for that little money (capped). Once the IPO happens they can hire someone who wants the job and get paid a decent salary. ---
