	Golden handshake - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A golden handshake is a clause in an executive employment contract that provides the executive with a significant severance package in the case that the executive loses their job through firing, restructuring, or even scheduled retirement.
		Typically, "golden handshakes" are offered only to high-ranking executives by major corporations and may entail a value measured in millions of dollars.
		Golden handshakes are given to offset the risk inherent in taking the new job, since high-ranking executives have a high likelihood of being fired and since a company requiring an outsider to come in at such a high level may be in a precarious financial position.

	Handshake - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A handshake is a short ritual in which two people grasp their right or left hands, often accompanied by a brief shake of the grasped hands.
		This is usually a three move procedure, beginning with a traditional, palm-to-palm clasp, followed in quick succession by a clasping at the hilt of the thumbs, and finally, by a hooked clasp of only the fingers, in the manner of railroad couplers.
		Handshakes are a major route for the transmission of common cold viruses.

		When considering golden handshake options, one has to remember that it is not only the money the civil servants will ultimately consider, but also security; this may, ultimately, be the more important factor.

		The company's explanation is that Sarnoff s advice is needed by RCA on matters with which he is familiar "by reason of his former employment." The company's gesture seems to be a "golden handshake," a generous farewell present designed to discourage any public recriminations.
		The expensive practice was widespread in the business world until the mid-1960s, but since then, largely because of stockholders' opposition, it has been rather rare.
