Yes but... and I'm sorry to point out the obvious, but these executives haven't been murdered by Persians. They've just been paid a relatively trivial amount to do their jobs for a few months.

And who's to stay the internally-promoted folks will demand any less payment?

Anyways, sounds like you're just opposed to these payments fundamentally despite all of the rational arguments that have been elucidated in this thread in support of them.

He's arguing the support is nonsensical considering the facts. That you disagree is your opinion.
