Quarter after quarter of decreasing revenue and shit stock performance for his entire time as ceo. They should have paid him to leave long ago. bsky.app/profile/seve...

💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀

At least he can finally satiate his appetite for jackets that look cool on anyone except him

For failing!

This gives me feelings about billionaires, Karl.

If they paid writers and residuals properly how could they afford to pay money-grubbing CEOs?

It's literally the first time I ever heard of you, that was your first impression, telling people to get over themselves about AI impacting their careers. My second impression is this super rational response.

You could put Crisis On Infinite Earths, The Dark Knight Returns, and Kingdom Come on the big screen for that and get a handsome return but instead it’s just going to line that failclown’s pockets.

I would have done half as poor of a job for like a quarter of that. Win-win for all involved.

TAX THE BASTARDS

It's not just that he was terrible though. He made decisions even grandmothers who don't have televisions and live in Antarctica new were terrible fucking decisions. He made decisions he unmade so it's like he was never actually there to begin with. They're paying a ghost $567 million bucks.

Golden parachutes should be illegal, it encourages Ceo's to do a terrible job on purpose because no matter what you get paid an awful large bounty for being crap at your only job. If I drop a product on the client's hands in low quality, I get reprimanded or fired.

Wording the half a billion as secondary to the golden parachute is deeply upsetting

Obscene.

I worked for this guy and can honestly say I could've done a better job for 10% of the payout

that's something to consider

$one million would be more than enough. think about how many great films could be made with $567 Million and how much lower movie tickets would be with that money

if failing upwards wasn't a thing before it is now this is the new age of unfit incapable people running away with it great job by the board

looting

Dime store Jack Welch worshipping piece of shit,...

I could screw up that company twice as badly for half as much.

We need 70% to 90% tax bracket for all income over $10M to discourage this bullshit It would apply to stock as soon as they are awarded, or vested. Tax should be due when agreed, not when paid. What other dodges & deferrals need to be avoided?

just talk about what an effective scavenger and hatchet man he is. most normal people couldn't follow through with what he just did.

this is what CEOs do now, the things the companies make aren't the products, the company itself is the product. The consumers aren't the customers, the shareholders are. Gonna be harder to improve Quality of life unless this economic system is addressed and changed.

Truly the worst people; he was utterly terrible at the job. Decadence at best, harming the public at worst. We must bring some semblance of alignment of incentives back.

Being a CEO is like owning a major sports team, you do everything poorly and just make half a billion dollars anyway.

I firmly believe this is why he put Warner Bros up for sale in the first place. No other reason

the delicate management of consolidation synergies

“… right up to the moment I left.”

So what does that come to? about $100,000 per head laid off?

Major tax hikes or guillotines. Those are the only answers at this point.

Won't pay any of that towards taxes. Plus we lost numerous shows, movies, IPs and general faith in the company he destroyed.

It is morally correct to pirate.

I'd rather make him work at Arby's and use medicaid

I'm like 90% sure his job was to prep the studio for sale. So. Maybe not terrible at his job so much as just broadly terrible

Golden parachutes should be illegal.

That’s elite capture.

I had a working theory that he was just a scapegoat for the other executives' bad decisions, but paying yourself half-a-billion for doing a shit job is proving me wrong.

Yeah for the good job he did, right?

KTA

The gluttonous, morbidly wealthy feeding off of runaway capitalism. Millions, billions, trillions ... it almost seems like make believe words. They lose meaning after a certain amount of zeros.

David Zaslav: Still the poster child for failing up.

Actually, he was great at his job. Transferring money from workers to capitalists.

Oh damn gour telling me a ceo is getting an insane amount of cash to make a deal of any kind?! Like even one thats bad? Thats unheard of! Its as if none of this matters! But hey what do we do about it? I have feelings about what to do but...oh man seems like politicians like money too. Damn.

#EatTheRich (or tax them modestly; their choice).

God bless America.

I'd like to see *anyone* try to argue why we shouldn't be taxing that shit at least 80%.

Take it all back every fucking dime he stole. No billionaires

I’m sure it will be immediately offset by a half-billion in subscription rate hikes.

When I think of the penny-pinching that happens on shoots these days, and how often I’m forced to cut my rate or not work… this is infuriating.

This should be criminal

He greatly devalued the company and managed to make sure his companies made very little actual product during his tenure.

The only type of parachute Zaslav should get is the kind from “Coyote vs. ACME”

Damn, that's football coach territory.

He is more deserving of a boot in the ass

If someone pays you to stop ruining their business isn't that just extortion

It doesn’t have to be this way. Really.

The only thing CEOs are uniformly good at is negotiating their pay packages.

I can go with 10 million even, I ask less to be even more terrible. Can you believe it !

Love how the most worthless people in any given organization is always the most overpaid.

alas

Guillotines

blasphemous
