Where is this used?

I think there should be some mention of the 1099 form since its a federally codified term on the 1099. 76.17.161.105 (talk) 05:58, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

I moved this from golden handshake since it refers to this term, not golden handshake. But I've never encountered it used this way. Should it go in the article or not?

In more general usage, "golden parachute" has come to signify any deal that—be it through money, another job (usually well-paid but more ceremonial, a sinecure)—makes it easier for an organization to get rid of a high-ranking member without fuss, trouble, protests, or bad press. This may be, for example, the offer of an ambassadorship (which is considered prestigious and socially desirable) to a minister not wanted anymore in the cabinet, or the promotion of a manager to chairman of the board of an affiliate.

Merge

Golden handshake and Golden parachute should be merged.

I disagree. Golden parachute is number 7 on the 1099 form. This is a federal income tax term. It deserves its own page. 76.17.161.105 (talk) 05:59, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

It should be merged. This is Englsih Wikipedia, nobody cares what some American tax form says because it isn't universally relevant. Caspar esq. (talk) 16:24, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

The pages are saying THE SAME THING. That's reason enough to merge. I don't care to which title (though handshake seems more common). 94.194.66.92 (talk) 10:58, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

Cleanup

Have attempted to cleanup article adding citations, doing some research etc. Still needs work. --BoogaLouie (talk) 15:39, 11 April 2012 (UTC)
