AOL overlord Randy Falco has enforced all kinds of cost-cutting measures since he took over, such as gently pushing or violently shoving other execs out of the company. And while he can't quite bring himself to outright purchase a jet for his own use, he's not too proud to beg:

Since he started at AOL he has been diverting the AOL shuttle, which runs between Teeterboro and Dulles, to White Plains whenever it suits him. I guess that got to be too inconvenient for him, so they've set up jars in the cafeteria so employees can contribute a little extra to the "Get Poor Randy a Jet" campaign. It's actually kind of touching. A lot of people I know are more than willing to give up their jobs for this noble cause — as long as we get decent severance packages.

What a sweet show of esprit de corps. Please, if you can snap a pic of the alleged tip jar, by all means send it in.
