Unlike when regular employees get fired, CEO's who are forced out seem to get rewarded well.
Roger Deromedi, former CEO of Chicago-based Kraft, was let go with $14 million. His co-CEO, Betsy Holden got $12 million.
This doesn't include their restricted stocks and options.
Other former CEO's, like HP's Fiorina, got more.
I think this shows that CEO's know how to negotiate their packages when they are first hired.
Also, corporate boards want to hire someone Wall Street and funds will respect, so they have to offer competitive packages to attract the short list of "stars" in the marketplace.
