I see no reason to object to the old CEO getting paid to leave. He had a contract with the company for a certain $ amount over a period of years. The company wanted to go somewhere else and they had to buy him out. It's their own stupid fault for giving a contract like that out.
I do have a problem with people making that kind of money though. NOBODY does a sufficient amount of work to be worth even $1M. The reason that half of the country makes less than $30k/year is because corporate jackasses make multi-million dollar salaries.
Lots of people work high stress jobs and long hours for shit money. They get shit money because those at the top are greedy SOBs.
Also, this whole story is PR crap. He gets to look like he's some sort of hero and will probably make more than the $25M offerred.
