Suppose you were CEO of a firm that lost $50 million, but you were given a bonus of $10 million. You were vilified in the media and brought before a Congressional committee that accused you of financial outrage. However, you pointed out that the most optimistic forecast for your firm had been that it would lose over $6 billion. There was no significant change in markets, the economy, or anything else during the year other than the new strategy that you implemented—a strategy that reduced losses by $5,950,000,000 to only $50,000,000, and thus you felt that you were actually underpaid.
