Someone help me out here. What is the exact dollar-value salary range where you start failing upwards?

If my one-man business was this negligent, I'd never work again. But if you get paid a fortune to run a global corp, when you fail spectacularly through sheer incompetence you just get moved to another c-suite job at a different company, and do it again. Repeat until you retire.

Look at the resumes of half these CEOs etc... and it's a trail of failure. But it's never them that suffers for it. In any sane world the consequence of failure should be higher if you get paid millions because you're supposed to be so special and important.

How much do you have to be paid before everyone suddenly decides that you don't face consequences anymore? Just curious.

I mistakenly thought The World held adults responsible for their screwups. The amount of people I’ve encountered in professional roles who just clown their way through life is… both startling and reassuring.

(And take a look at the amount of one-man trade/construction outfits who leave a mess everywhere they go and still have customers)
