> The baseline for ordinary people is not to be in the position of power or not to have a high salary.
This is quite funny, since the 'victims' we're talking about are some of the highest paid people in an already highly paying profession.
> Incompetent people shouldn't get the privileged position in the first place, so thinking of losing it as a punishment is absurd.
Also, we should not have error handling because we only hire competent developers and therefore our app doesn't crash, ever. This is clearly absurd.
Plus, the economic situation did change. Calling Satya incompetent for making mistakes while steering a trillion dollar company feels a bit like the management equivalent of "I could build StackOverflow in a weekend".
- js8 4y agoI am not sure you understood the argument I am making. At least I am confused what you're trying to argue. All I am saying is this: If I am giving you a handsome reward for a job, and it turns out you are doing it badly, then giving you just half the reward is not a punishment. Even giving you no reward is not a punishment (because you got a chance to do a well-rewarded job). Punishment, to mean something, would be losing more than you would get for doing the acceptable job.
