Sadly, this is too true. Lower level employees will be fired and scapegoated as rogue employees when all they were doing were applying the rules and incentives that were set from higher up. If anyone at the top does get done, they will be punished with a slightly smaller payout that will still be huge... And soon after offered a lucrative 'job' elsewhere. It stinks, we all know it, but it so hard to change it.... And after change, it always happens again... Yeah for human nature!
