That's not how business works. If you wrecklessly drove a company into the ground, you're going to have a hard time finding another leadership position at another company.

That's not how business works. If you can show that you saved the corporation massive amounts of money, and that "the incident" was a one-in-a-million that would _never_ happen to the new corporation, then of course they will hire you for management. See: HP, Yahoo, etc.

Oh really? Why hasn't this guy found another job yet? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeffrey_Skilling

He made the company tons of money. I'm sure he would claim it "would never happen" to the new company as well. Yet he's not exactly leading up another energy company, is he?
