SSN is another conversation entirely - talking about people retiring after 20 years with ridiculous lifetime pay, then getting rehired as consultant at 2x the pay and a free car... this happens ALL THE TIME YOU'D BE SHOCKED... retired people making 2-6 times what they ever made working... NOT ALL.. but far too many.

And what often happens is the leader gets in trouble, resigns, then becomes a consultant for the same company at 2x pay and a free car.

At the employee level, you're told to document everything and keep records (following procedures, sorting and storing records in a certain way, etc.) so that you can be replaced easily.

At the C-suite level, you purposely don't do that. Everything is kept in your head or your private journal. If they sack you, all the information is lost unless they pay you as a consultant, in which case you drip feed it back to them!
