"Leo Apothker who pocketed a nice payout on his way out of the door"
He had responsibility for a monumental cluster-fxxk and still gets his golden goodbye. A finer example of the capacity of the "managerati" to take the piss out everyone: shareholders, employees, customers, business partners - and still get away with helping themselves from the till on the way out the door would be hard to find. Until those bastards are actually subject to consequences related to the way they do their jobs of the kind that we "little people" have to accept (you know, like sacking without notice or pay where appropriate) we are just going to see history repeating itself again and again.
