How does that affect the executive making that decision, who is already wealthy? It's not like executives are ever punished for poorly running a company.

  >How does that affect the executive making that decision, who is already wealthy But your other comment[1] seems to suggest that executives love money and want to make more, so they would definitely be affected by that decision.

Their bonuses are linked to company performance, and they can be fired just like any other job.

    >Their bonuses are linked to company performance, and they can be fired just like any other job. So they get fired, then what? They get hired by another company for more money because now they have experience. That's what I mean about not being punished. No executive ever ends up destitute and on the streets. We should strive for all workers to have the same safety net as executives.
