Neither does this guy (a non-practicing attorney), but he still goes on to say why he has no sympathy for Jake DeSantis.

The lawyer in me (I should really say “recovering lawyer,” since I haven’t practiced in 15 years) understands his point. He contracted to work with his salary essentially being his bonus, and after fulfilling his obligations (he argues that it was a form of public service, but let’s just stick to the idea that he served the company), the CEO is asking him to forgo his pay. It’s an argument, in strictly letter-of-the-law terms, I could comfortably make to a judge or jury.

But as a person, I am not the least bit moved by DeSantis’s point of view, because over the last several years, he has tremendously profited from a larger financial culture that is completely out of whack. Those working in the financial industry made untold sums of money from a bubble that was bound to burst, and they did so in an environment that rewarded risk with no consequences for failure.

And besides, he wasn’t “whining” — he was trying to provide facts. Or don’t radical liberals care about facts?
