Getting crushed by Jon Stewart last week wasn't the end of the bad news for Jim Cramer. Last week, TheStreet.com, the financial news site that Cramer co-founded and continues to oversee as chairman, lost its longtime CEO, Thomas Clarke. Today the company laid off 18 staffers as part of a plan to slash $2.4 million in costs. We'd hate to second-guess Cramer given his rep as all-knowing financial guru, but if the company was really looking to reduce overhead in a hurry, wouldn't it have been easier to have started with Cramer's seven-figure salary? Just a thought! [PaidContent]
