It's already been documented that the brass have paid themselves bonuses even though their companies failed.

When they leave with the money, it's considered a "golden parachute".

you do realize that CEO contracts are written by the board of directors and not the prospective CEO right?

You mean the OBC? Sure, they're going to look out for "one of their own". The question is, should we let them?

yes. a few CEOs that are corrupt make a big splash in the news, and you want to brand all CEOs with the same brush. that doesnt work, just like saying all liberals are highly educated elitists, or that all conservatives are uneducated hillbillies. you cant take the actions of a few, can say that all are that way.

Fulfilling a contract, anyway you slice it, isn't theft.

actually, conservatives tend to be wealthier than working class Democrats, not that I belong to either party.

You are not REQUIRED to take said vacation, so you should not do so.

Wrong. On average, Democrats are the wealthier breed.

Your vacation time is part of a benefits package offered to an employee.

It's not unethical to partake of your employment benefits - it's an agreement between two entities.

You are not required to take a lunch break. Is it unethical to eat lunch?

You are not required to stop working after 8 hours (you can voluntarily work more), so is it unethical to go home after your shift ends?

Having a chamber pot under your desk is an option.
