The deadzoners are about maxed out by all of this already. I understand. While none of this has cost them anything yet, watching others get handed gifts while they got hit in bankruptcy and hit again by the market is more than some of them can take.

It's politically touchy to remind them they enjoyed rapid career progression when those above them bailed out. There is a silver lining for the deadzoners (and all of us) in the early outs.
