people such as Mr. Ailes and regardless of their politics live in what many business insiders refer to as " rarified air " meaning that they operate and are treated by much different rules than the rest of us .

His so called " firing " is not especially painful . A slight embarrassment but no real suffering . Also if you consider his age he may ultimately find it to have been a blessing .
He will collect a massive " Golden Parachute " , be invited to serve on several Boards , be free to publish his life story and free to be a guest commentator should he choose to do so .
We should all wish that we had a similar type of exit from our careers .
