I think the issue for a lot of people (especially me) is a matter of scale. We see all of those dollars being dumped on a single individual all at once for being fired. And this after he was making millions year to year. Give me $1 million, and I could retire comfortably. This guy got how much? And he's probably going to try to go back to work.
If it helps you get any sort of perspective on this, HP's Q1 net income was $2.2 billion.
