You know you see companies collapse with so many million in debts, or the bosses taking huge dividends and leaving the company in debt, then selling the company for a pound ... ?

How the hell do you do that? I mean, can anyone just start a business, not pay the suppliers, not make any profits, and then just give yourself a well earned pay rise at the end?

How do the rich, privileged, connected classes get away with such a thing?

@lydiaconwell I believe the trick is to sign a contract that says something like: “Whether I get fired or I leave of my own volition, I will be compensated with X million simoleons.” Then, wait for the company to only have X million in cash and leave. After that, the company declares bankruptcy or is saved by (not too bright) investors or the government. Either way, not your problem.

As long as you can prove that you were only a useless idiot and not an unfaithful administrator, you're golden. Also, it helps if you give a portion of X to the people who allowed you to get and keep all that money. That will help you find another ~~sucker~~ job in no time.
