re: #525 Existential_Donuts

You are missing the point though. The “golden parachute” is essentially like a pre-nup, that the company agrees to pay the individual if things go awry (i.e. it is a contractual issue that the company agreed to pay before the problem arose) These contractual devices are a means of attracting talent (or someone talented enough to pass him/herself off as talented). This is significantly different than accountability, which was the topic at hand.
