Alan Fishman - CEO of Washington Mutual - had only been in office for 17 days when WaMu failed. however, since it was guaranteed by contract, he earned $11.6 million in cash severance, on top of the $7.5 million signing bonus for taking the job. this bitch got $19.1 million for 17 days of "work". that's more than $1mil a day!
this makes me a little angry. how many people have lost jobs, homes, businesses, and money due to this crumbling economy? and this jackass gets this amazing career opportunity, but couldn't manage to make any significant improvements to prolong the life of his company. then when it collapses, he cashes in on the severance pay, while millions of Americans are suffering financially. what the fuck? surely, we can hardly say it was his fault that WaMu failed, but the bastard still got paid that much money? undeserved.
