[edit] Where is this used?

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.
