Except he's still getting paid until April. I doubt the employees getting the sack because of this will be extended the same sweet deal.

Pretty messed up that you can fuck up and make hundreds lose their jobs, and get paid for several months afterwards to do literally nothing.

Wasn't as nice as what I hear from Epic, but Unity layoff did have severance. 2 weeks of pay per year of tenure. Probably below average for tech, above average for games.

But yea, golden parachutes for me but not for thee.

There's one CEO, and n employees. The one will always receive preferred treatment, over the many. Is it pretty fucked up that 1+1=2? Both are constants in the universe.

Whether he did a good job is irrelevant, he did a job and got paid for it. It'd be pretty fucked up if the board hired him, then didn't pay him per contract.

LOL! Well, at least you're not trying to hide the fact that the ridiculous compensation isn't commensurate with performance.

Most people don't get paid out to the end of their contract if they're let go early, or not that I've seen and if you're let go for ineptitude why should they?

This is just different rules for the rich. I'm sure he'd survive much better even without that money than any other employee being let go with their much less generous package.

It's almost as if it's a way harder job or something, I mean look at your own post you have animosity towards them despite knowing nothing about them just from them taking on that job.

Someone has to do those jobs, but what offends people is the extent to which that class keep giving themselves more all the time, and exponentially more than what happens to the rest of us. All jobs are important, not just the C suite.

They get paid appalling amounts of money when they're just treading water - it's not fair they also get good payouts when they stuff up so monumentally.
