Good work if you can get it. I'd love for someone to pay me $7.14M to NOT work for them.

It's not such a bad time to get fired as an executive.

I've had a couple of friends who were "encouraged to move on" over the past few years, and both walked away with extraordinary golden parachutes. It's a reminder that those packages often aren't just about rewarding past performance, they're also about managing risk.

Companies have every incentive to avoid messy disputes, lawsuits, or sensitive internal information becoming public. A generous severance, ongoing perks, and other benefits can make for a much cleaner exit, especially when they're contingent on confidentiality and non-disparagement agreements.

For many executives, getting shown the door can end up being one of the most lucrative days of their careers.
