Nice how you decided to focus on this part of my message, and not the euthanized dog.
I would define a system that would let you retire with up to 90% last-five-years-average-pay for life, and then enter a DROP program that let's you accumulate 60 months of such and be paid out in a lump-sum upon your retirement in the last five years of your employment, with all of this on top of Social Security and any other savings one might have accumulated in their life to be "nice". If you think that's insufficient, then ask your handservants and butlers what they think.
Regarding "the level of the employee", the article did not give us enough information as to whether it was a managerial person, clerical person or otherwise who was identified as having made the specific error. Regardless, the fact that it takes an innocent dog like this, due to be saved by a rescue organization, to be put down BEFORE management decides to put in place "additional procedures" denotes incompetence of management, and they ARE at a level to procure a "nice" retirement if they put in their time.
