As long as you have a Golden Parachute in your contract!
Wait... Why do none of us have Golden Parachutes...?
You guys have parachutes?
I do! But it's just an anvil with some string attached
Ooooh, that sounds awkward - let me take that golden anvil off your hands before it hurts you.
I jumped for a reason, why would I wear a parachute?
There's a Blackberry docu-drama streaming on Netflix now - (Jay Baruchel - Hiccup from How to train your Dragon / Dave from 2010 Sorcerer's Apprentice - has a leading role, it fits him well...) Real life tales of golden parachutes, compressed decision making, consequences...
Don’t forget Glenn Howerton from IASIP. This ended up being a great movie
I really liked the story, and the vibe felt very authentic to me (if possibly overplaying the "Movie Night" aspects of the culture)...
It also was distinctly unpleasant / uncomfortable to watch - like an up-close view of an abrasive train wreck.
