This is a very typical story: Volkswagen plans 50,000 job cuts due to plunging profits while board members secure €1.75 million each in bonuses
Even though VW is swirling down the toilet, the executives structured their bonus schemes so they would almost certainly be paid while at the same time they shafted the workforce. This is a pattern that's very common, although once in a great while some CEO bucks the trend and sacrifices for their workers.
Even though blatant cheating and malfeasance is so common these days, it will eventually stir up a hornet's nest especially if times really get tough for the average joe or jane. They will realize the nominal "ruling class" is actually very easy to reach out and touch so to speak.
This is yet another reason why absurdism is the only philosophy that makes any sense. "The system" always runs amok. Eventually the average person realizes everything they were conditioned and trained to believe is a lie that keeps them docile and working for trash.
