Hall of Shame Nominee #4:

How’s this for a job:  As the CEO of a major company, your stock is down 50%, your board of directors is chugging Maalox, your earnings outlook is grim and your employees (the ones you haven’t laid off) are nervous about their future.  Hit the road, Jack. Oh, but, before you go, don’t forget to take your multi-million dollar golden parachute.  That’s right, head to one of your many homes, maybe spend a little time on your yacht and leave the mess that you've created to the government to try to fix.  Besides, who cares about all those shareholders who lost money anyway?  Shameful.
