Nice Package!

I want to be bad enough at my job to receive a $225000 payment just to go away.
The University of Louisville will pay out $225,000 in severance benefits to a former high-ranking administrator who left his post after spending roughly just four months on the job, according to documents obtained by The Courier Journal.
A severance agreement obtained through a public records request shows UofL agreed to pay Riggs Lewis, who served as the university’s vice president for external relations and communications starting in July, $225,000 in monthly installments over the next six months.
UofL President Kim Schatzel announced on Oct. 9 that Lewis was stepping down from his post. In a resignation letter sent to Schatzel, Lewis wrote that he plans to return to private practice, in which he had extensive experience prior to joining the university. No further reason for his departure was given in his resignation letter or Schatzel’s announcement.
I am assured that the morale of university administration would collapse, with disastrous effects, if the most glaringly inept of their fraternity were not guaranteed a severance payment large enough to buy a yacht after serving for less than the duration of a Major League Baseball season…
