    Hey now! They are also taking on a lot of risk! Like being poor if they somehow manage to miss the golden parachute after messing up on the job

        If you don’t have wealth amassed outside the company and the company ends up not being able to pay debts your entire livelihood can be taken by a debt collector. Really depends on the company but if you want to get a loan banks want some safety to back it up

          Man, I wonder what it would be like to live like that. Just dependent on a company making money so you don’t have your livelihood taken from you…
