The point isn't about Mike Z. Its about health care for those at the top of Nortel versus the laid off employee (at least in the US) who is being stiffed out of his/her healthcare come February. Quit your hero worshipping of people like Mike Z. They aren't celebrities or anything special and thus don't deserve anything greater then the laid off employee who gets nothing.

These are the mere facts. I personally think pointing out personal challenges and the differences between those at the top and everyone else is fair game. Mike Z is no celeb. To use a sports analogy, he is just a guy (i.e. he is nothing special). Who's going after relatives ? These are the mere facts.

You are not the decider. Your analysis on Nortel is usually pretty good but on this it is quite weak. In this case you are misinterpreting the context of the post due some emotional reaction. As I said, its too bad we don't have a healthcare system that protects the average citizen against these kind of risks. You saying its a cheap shot doesn't make it so either. You are not the decider.

This is not a cheap shot. When the hatchet befalls an employee, they no longer get the 60 days of benefits and a severance. There are people who do not have the money to pay upfront for Health Care. If you were laid off tomorrow and a child or spouse got sick, you'd be screwed for the rest of your life. <br>Mike Z is a cold hearted and does not care as you can read that he had the option of giving Serverance and 60 days notice as stated by E&Y. I feel sorry for the employees forced to remain with this scumbag because these days, jobs are not a dime a dozen.. I agree. This is not a cheap shot.
