Jeff Zucker to get paid to leave NBC / Comcast

I am always in shock when people who are forced out get paid a ton of money.

Can I please somehow get that gig?

After leading NBC down to 4th place and completely fumbling the Conan O'Brien transition, Jeff Zucker is going to get a major payout to leave Comcast/NBC.

Press Release
"NBC Universal CEO Jeff Zucker is working on a deal to leave the network a few months after Comcast takes a controlling share of the company, according to the NYPost. The size of his golden parachute will be in the range of $30 to $40 million according the paper, citing "sources." NBCU extended Mr. Zucker's contract earlier this year through 2013."
