Top level executives of firms actually rotate quite frequently, and a lot of these firms listed are pretty small firms. A few I've never heard of, some are really tiny, and 2 I checked didn't seem to actually have changed management lately....

 

For example, Netplay TV (which is a pretty small UK interactive TV gambling company) changed their CFO, but not their CEO...Sun Microsystems is in the middle of the Oracle merger, so they're going to lose nearly all senior mgmt....

 

I suspect the data.

There's always turnover. With all the companies out there you could probably make this list every week.

Perhaps they all just received their federal income tax return, and due to all the tax they had to pay on their bonuses, they were able to retire early with what Uncle Sam gave them back

Maybe its like atlas shrugged and the businesses are all cleaning out and waiting for the crash. Lets see how many people have read that book lol
