It's actually crazy that you can burn $100B in a project that everybody mocked from the beginnings and still be CEO after that while having earned billions in compensation

Hell, it’s fucking insane that we have to earn our bonuses and they still fucking suck yet these people will get millions after fucking it all up. Imagine if a regular worker failed this hard and was like “so where’s my $15,000 Christmas bonus?”

I didn't fuck up and only got a tenth of that.

You guys are getting Christmas bonuses?

[–] Soup@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I didn’t fuck up and I always got the “default” $500CAD.

To be fair, my last company didn't pay anything because... uhm they had a record breaking year but they wanted more and thus it was nearly bankrupting them. Emotionally, I mean.

I didn't fuck up and they gave me 50$

Some of us only get a membership to the jelly of the month club.

this is what's called "holding a controlling interest."
