David Zaslav cashing an $887M check while Hollywood bleeds

David Zaslav is set to walk away with an $887 million golden parachute as Warner Bros. Discovery merges into a different beast entirely. I’ll be honest, I thought I knew how the game worked, but this is a whole new level of performance art. It’s a payout for a crash landing where the pilot gets a private island and the passengers get left on the tarmac. While I’m grinding out reps to keep my career alive, this guy is getting enough commas to buy a small country for watching his studio's stock price hit the floor. It’s the ultimate evidence that in corporate America, failing is the most profitable career move you can make. If I showed up to a shoot looking like a disaster, I’d be blacklisted; Zaslav does it and becomes a billionaire. It’s gross, it’s theatrical, and I genuinely can't tell if I'm more disgusted or just jealous that I didn't think of the heist first.
