What do you recommend then instead of losing your job and by extension the ability to affect society in a big way?

Jail, mostly

I just think that "our company got caught doing seriously illegal / negligent shit but don't worry we fired the CEO who oversaw all of it after paying them 10s of millions of dollars" is really not a punishment to either the company or the CEO

It's kind of a rigged system that ensures no one is held accountable

Oh, "the company" gets fined a fraction of the value they gained from behaving illegally, the shareholders get a ton of money, the executive team gets a golden parachute, and society gets fucked

Honestly we should be putting people to death for this behavior, instead many of us applaud what great business sense everyone involved has
