Panorama

Golden handshake's (1994x27)

Air date: Sep 26, 1994

Why should a company director of two years' standing get a "golden handshake" of half-a-million pounds when a middle manager has to work for 20 years before he or she is offered a year's salary? Panorama investigates the pay-off culture: are "golden handshakes" rewarding failure or justified by the entrepreneurs that receive them?
