Les Moonves will not be getting his severance package

Post by Graham Kennedy »

Ousted CBS chief executive Les Moonves "will not receive any severance payment" from the company, the board of directors said Monday evening.

The board members said they had concluded that they had ample reason to fire Moonves, thus denying him severance.
Under his original contract he would have been due $140 million. With the stories about his sexual harassment, he agreed that $20 million of that could be set aside for grants to organisations that support victims of such things, leaving him the remaining $120 million.

Now CBS are saying that he's not getting any of it at all.

Is it wrong that I see this as karmic payback for Discovery?
