So, you don't actually know the whole story, yet you support murdering an executive. We live in a bad society. You are just as greedy as that CEO, just because he made money, you think that he should die an agonizing death.
Sick.

Agreed.
Although killing someone is harsh.

It is, but the big shots ought to think about the possible consequences of stealing from people then taking away any good odds of them ever recovering their losses. People have this unseemly tendency to sometimes go off when provoked.

When I see CEO's treat their employees like Cr_p, screw up the company, then leave with a golden parachute, I won't be sad if the employees who have had their lives ruined string him up and light him on fire. I think execs need some disincentive so they don't behave like that and unfortunately our legal system seems incapable of providing one. Perhaps the threat of street justice will.

Sorry, I am not as heartless as you.
Your attitude is despicable. You feel no remorse when someone dies, when all they did was fire someone?
You are as soulless as the people in the article.

As someone said in a comment to that article, American CEOs ought to take heed. I, too, am not saying it's right, but I am saying I understand how it could happen. People are fed up with being oppressed by exploitative management and corporate fat cats. These profiteers push and push and push until one day, they push too far.

Me neither. If that makes me "soulless," so be it. I think it far worse to wreck 1,000 lives and make 1,000 people lose their homes to preserve a bonus. I'm utilitarian that way. The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.

If you don't like how execs act with THEIR companies, quit and start one of your own.
No one is forcing you to work for them!

The article says this is common in India! You couldn't pay me enough money to run a corporate division or factory in that country!
