Retiring is not protection against criminal charges.
Also, there would be oodles of money involved in the case of firing, resignation, or staying on anyway.
- Overtonwindow 9y agoTrue, but I guarantee you there's something in that golden parachute that the company will cover all legal costs resulting from any non-illegal decisions made by the CEO.

- toomuchtodo 9y ago> Isn't that how a corporation should work? Not when gross negligence occurs. EDIT: Gross negligence in the legal sense.
- maxerickson 9y agoDo you mean negligence in a legal sense or are you talking about something else? Because my comment is clearly scoped to "legal actions".
- wpietri 9y agoIt isn't formally protection against criminal charges. But I'd bet it makes charges significantly less likely.
