And the goal posts move again. I guess you are done.

I haven't changed one millimeter from what I originally said. Look it
up.

You have moved from how easy it was to fire a civil service worker to
how hard it is supposed to be to fire a private industry worker (there
are about 15 million of them who would disagree) and ended up at how
hard it is to get rid of a CEO.
CEOs aren't even that hard to get rid of. Most don't last 5 years,
particularly if they can't keep up the stock price. They just get a
better buyout than the rest of us.

I never said it was easy. Heck, it's not easy to fire a corporate
worker. Even corp. layoffs can invoke a lawsuit if it's not handled
properly.

So, if CEOs aren't hard to get rid of, how come it takes forever, and
they end up running the company into the ground even though it's
obvious that they did that. They still get their bonuses, no problem.
Then, maybe they take their parachute and go sailing.... um... like
BP's guy???
