Hi,

What do people mean when they ask " Is this really the color of my parachute?"


Thanks.

A parachute (usually a Golden parachute) refers to the financial terms a person has negotiated with his company in the event that he is terminated or forced to step down.
It is usually associated with executive-level people who are often given millions of dollars in cash, stocks, or options when they leave.
