Transocean (Gulf Oil Spill) Execs Receive Bonuses For "Safe Year".
How absurd can we get? Less than a year after America's worst environmental disaster the company's executives are rewarded for having a safe year.

Lies, damned lies, and statistics..."Notwithstanding the tragic loss of life in the Gulf of Mexico, we achieved an exemplary statistical safety record as measured by our total recordable incident rate and total potential severity rate," the report says.
"Yah, there was that one screw up where the platform exploded and several died, but it's offset by the fact that there were fewer employees left alive and/or working to have the chance to incur safety infractions..." -
They certainly didn't lose their jobs over it, definately a safe year for them.Comment

Another possibility is that, even with the Deep Horizon explosion, 2010 actually was a safer year than most... which, in turn, ought to tell you that the business they're in isn't particularly safe in any given year.
edit: the bonuses don't seem appropriate, but that's how things work: no accountability at the top.

I hear they are going to donate the money to the families of the victims.Comment

If so, good, but probably only because their bonuses made the news and it was bad PR.
