So it'd be very much like an ordinary death penalty, then, with dependents left behind in a worse position. Well, fortunately it would also mean you shouldn't work for a bad company the same way you shouldn't assist criminals generally, in that you can share in the blame.

Fire the board, upper management, and ceo... confiscate stock from all shareholders and do an ipo with it. install new management from the industry. Ban existing management from serving in that capacity for the rest of their lives. Now let's see who f*'s up.

Think of the poor workers is such a poor argument as any worker can be laid off or fired at a moment's notice.
