Maybe if there were consequences, there wouldn't be so much corruption that leads to these silent firings.

Satisfaction? It’s about truth and justice, investors deserve to know about executive malfeasance

Yes, I’d prefer that investors know that the new executive is not going to continue the same crap and same level of poor judgement. Want them to know the replacement is looking to do more than wear a golden parachute.

Imagine if investors actually thought the personnel change was a positive one…

> So you would prefer a media circus and investor scrutiny when your employer's executives are fired for failures or misconduct?

Yes, as a warning to the other executives.

> Is the satisfaction of seeing an executive dragged through the mud worth losing a chunk of your net worth to you, no matter how much the exec deserves it?

Yes. There is far too little truth and justice in this world, most especially for corporate executives.

> I'd rather keep the money, personally.

Of course, me too buddy, me too. But some things are more important, don't you think? It would be a much much better world if the wealthy and powerful had to think carefully before acting. Think carefully before that action of misconduct. Bear the responsibility for their actions. Be afraid of the consequences.
