Certainly the so called 'free market' has been contaminated with the spectacle of the Captains of Industry being rewarded for failure.
One case which springs to mind - Sven Eriksson - (remember him?) whose miserable campaign resulted in the exit for the England Football team was rewarded by a Golden Goodbye of one million every year over a five year period - five million quid - not bad.
And thats not even getting your team to the semi finals - never mind winning.
It is obvious that is now par for the course for 'them at the top'and they all have their snouts in the pig trough and so all enjoy such ludicrous deals.
Meanwhile US companies regularly axe the ten bottom perfomance of their workface who are struggling to get by whilst senior executives who screw up are rewarded with huge bonuses and golden payoffs.
So it goes.Comment

Any investment bank worth the name has a special platform, 3 stories above the street entrance, where senior officers of the company can give Golden Showers to the, hapless, sacked underlings as they struggle out with their cardboard boxes full of pitiful personal effects.
You've come right out the other side of the forest of irony and ended up in the desert of wrong.
