Time and again, we see CEOs and similar executives make horrible decisions that massively damage a company both financially and in terms of reputation and the perpetrator is forced to resign, yet receives so much money as a going away present you’d think they’re being rewarded for their fuck up. Why??
Because there are also CEOs and similar executives that do NOT fuck up and make billions for their companies. Big risk, but big reward.
Some would argue the workers make the companies all their money…
OK, if it’s so easy and the workers create all the value, those workers are free to start their own competing company and become the billionaires.
