That didn't stop Leo Apothekar for collecting $30 million in severance after tanking HP.
Nor did it stop Stephen Elop from collecting $25 million after running Nokia's devices business into the ground/arms of Microsoft (although I think technically that was structured as a "bonus")
Reminds me of some quote I heard somewhere: "CEO: where success is rewarded handsomely and failure only slightly less so"
I agree completely. That's why I consider a high class way for him to exit. I was going to make a comment about Apothekar's behavior pre-empting him from having a future business career but actually it doesn't seem to harm him.
