re: #540 Dan G.

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.

I’m not missing the point. The point is these guys contracts saying that no matter what happens, they will not be accountable. Then they acted like they had no rules (they didn’t) then walked away with our money.

That is pretty much my point. If your point is that the mere existence of golden parachutes makes them acceptable, I don’t get it.
