How many of you would not mind being fired from your jobs and still get paid for a year or two?

By , 01:23 AM

That is what happens when managers and GM’s get fired.  They usually have 1 or more years left on their contracts, so that when they get fired, they get to go home, sleep late, play a little golf, spend time with their families, and collect anywhere from a half a mil to a couple mil a year or so.

Now, I won’t pretend to know how they feel when they get “fired,” but if you are ever tempted to feel sorry for them, do me a frickin’ favor and don’t.
