They still got most of their bonuses though.
Yup - the amount of reward for failure is unbelievable.
Yup, exactly. It isn't just corporations either, state government is a heavy hitter with this stuff, and the unions make it 10x worse.
There was a guy at the State department I worked at who was making 100k+ a year as a technology applications analyst. He never did ANY work. Found out why, he was making pornographic movies and running his own website making and selling videos from a State computer. Running a business from a State computer is illegal anyway, never mind the content.
A previous manager tried to get this guy fired, but he was a minority. He claimed the State was trying to fire him because of his race. They left him alone, figuring there was nothing they could do.
Luckily, the next manager came in, realized what was happening, and got video proof of him doing it, which wasn't hard since he did this out in the open in his cubicle, thinking he was untouchable. The manager went to the commissioner, stating this guy was a huge security risk with his actions, and if anything happened to the applications and their sensitive data, he was not responsible because they allowed this guy to still do what he was doing.
He never got fired, but was "convinced to retire" and he still collects a pension.
Unbelievable.
Unfortunately, some Americans are 'untouchable'......and I'm not talking about people from India...I think that many Americans are unaware of what REALLY goes on....if they knew they might feel different but the media has an AGENDA and honesty isn't part of it....
