So what you're trying to say is that execs getting these kind of bonuses in a financially distressed company is not unlike vultures feeding on a carcass, except that in this case the vultures were nurtured by the same "person" that's now the carcass, for years and probably decades, AND, it's part of the job of the vulture to keep the "person" from becoming the carcass.

Note-to-self: Stay away from vulture-minded execs.

Note-to-investors: Keep an eye on and go the extra mile in rooting out the vulture-minded execs in your companies, before shit hits the fan.

Investors would probably do well to find executives to run their companies who know about market value/comps, know that $X is greater than $X/2 for all positive values of $X, and make decisions based on that knowledge.

If their market value elsewhere and their replacement’s demand here is $X and the company’s current projected comp is $X/2, that’s only tenable for a very short time.
