大銀幕上的情報(bào)人員出手向來(lái)闊綽，比如說(shuō)詹姆斯·邦德，他的標(biāo)配便是名表跟阿斯頓·馬丁跑車(chē)。

不過(guò)，美國(guó)聯(lián)邦調(diào)查局（FBI）前任局長(zhǎng)詹姆斯·科米并未享受到這樣的奢華。按照人事管理局（OPM）提供的數(shù)據(jù)，科米2017年的薪資為17.21萬(wàn)美元。此外根據(jù)工作表現(xiàn)，他可能還會(huì)獲得1.5萬(wàn)美元的額外收入。不過(guò)上星期二晚，美國(guó)總統(tǒng)唐納德·特朗普宣布解雇科米，科米將無(wú)法拿到全年薪水，但他會(huì)得到一筆解雇補(bǔ)償金。

公司的首席執(zhí)行官被解雇時(shí)，往往都會(huì)收獲一筆不菲的離職補(bǔ)償，該金額可能是年薪的一大部分，甚至有可能超過(guò)年薪。比如，雅虎（Yahoo）的首席執(zhí)行官瑪麗莎·梅耶爾在2016年獲得了價(jià)值為2,700萬(wàn)美元的股票、期權(quán)和現(xiàn)金。威瑞森（Verizon）完成對(duì)雅虎的收購(gòu)后，梅耶爾將會(huì)獲得2,300萬(wàn)美元的巨額離職補(bǔ)償金。

科米能夠拿到多少補(bǔ)償金尚未可知。目前，司法部（Department of Justice）、人事管理局和聯(lián)邦調(diào)查局均未回應(yīng)《財(cái)富》雜志的疑問(wèn)。

不過(guò)，OPM提供了一份FBI全職員工的基本工資表，可以據(jù)此估算他們的補(bǔ)償金。OPM稱，員工離職補(bǔ)償?shù)挠?jì)算方法要“更為復(fù)雜和精細(xì)” ，但我們依舊能算個(gè)大概。科米在FBI 工作了3年8個(gè)月零7天，他的年齡是56歲7個(gè)月，那么他的離職補(bǔ)償金應(yīng)該在32,254美元左右。

這一估算的前提是，他不是因?yàn)椤安豢山邮艿谋憩F(xiàn)或行為”而遭到解雇，上述總金額中也沒(méi)有將他這一年未使用的假期或病假天數(shù)計(jì)算進(jìn)去。此外，科米可以根據(jù)自身情況，選擇是否接受免費(fèi)的就業(yè)培訓(xùn)。

與梅耶爾的巨額離職補(bǔ)償金相比，這一估算出來(lái)的數(shù)字顯得有些寒酸。當(dāng)然，換個(gè)角度來(lái)看，這些錢(qián)足夠讓一個(gè)美國(guó)的五口之家生活在貧困線之上。

微薄的補(bǔ)償金并不會(huì)讓科米陷入經(jīng)濟(jì)困境。2013年被任命為聯(lián)邦局長(zhǎng)之時(shí)，CNN曾有報(bào)道，他的凈資產(chǎn)據(jù)估算超過(guò)1,100萬(wàn)美元。他擔(dān)任聯(lián)邦局長(zhǎng)前，曾在全球最大的對(duì)沖基金橋水公司（Bridgewater）工作，這為他積累了可觀的財(cái)富。

科米離開(kāi)聯(lián)邦調(diào)查局也不會(huì)令他顏面掃地。對(duì)沖基金經(jīng)理和政治家們紛紛出面為他辯護(hù)，競(jìng)選雙方陣營(yíng)均有人質(zhì)疑特朗普解雇科米的合理性。司法部長(zhǎng)辦公室稱，總統(tǒng)決定解雇科米是由于他在處理希拉里·克林頓“郵件門(mén)”中的表現(xiàn)不佳，但評(píng)論家們提出質(zhì)疑，認(rèn)為科米遭到解雇可能與他調(diào)查俄羅斯干預(yù)美國(guó)大選一事有關(guān)。

總體來(lái)看，由于總統(tǒng)此前的一系列行為，解雇補(bǔ)償金有望上漲。免除科米的職務(wù)之前，特朗普政府之前也曾突然宣布解雇紐約南區(qū)前檢察官普利特·巴拉拉、前代理司法部長(zhǎng)薩莉·耶茨，以及白宮前首席接待員安琪拉·里德。（財(cái)富中文網(wǎng)）

On the silver screen, members of the intelligence community are rolling in the dough. Think James Bond and his multi-thousand dollar watches, fitted suits, and Aston Martins.

But for former FBI director James Corey, the reality is a little less explosive. Comey was set to earn $172,100 of his base salary in 2017, according to data from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM). He may have also been eligible to earn an additional $15,000 based on his performance in 2017. But then President Donald Trump fired Comey Tuesday night—and now Comey is looking at a severance package rather than his full annual salary.

When CEOs running a company are dismissed, they are often given a severance package representing a big chunk, if not more, of their annual pay. For instance, Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer earned $27 million in 2016 in stock, options, and cash. And after Verizon completes its purchase of Yahoo, Mayer will be out with a hefty additional $23 million as her golden parachute.

It's hard to say exactly how much Comey will receive—so far, the Department of Justice, OPM, and FBI have yet to respond to requests for confirmation by Fortune.

But the OPM does provide a basic worksheet full-time federal employees to help approximate their payout. Granted, the actual calculation formula for an employee's severance is "somewhat more complicated and technical," the OPM states—but it's still possible to establish a rough estimate. For Comey's 3 years, 8 months, and 7 days of service at the FBI, and his 56 years and 7 months of age, Comey's severance should be close to about $32,254.

That's assuming he wasn't removed for "unacceptable performance or conduct." It also doesn't factor in the lump sum he would be entitled to receive over any unused vacation or sick days from this year. Comey can also choose to undergo free job retraining should feel the need.

The estimate may look measly compared to Mayer's multi-million dollar golden parachute—but from another perspective, the severance pay is enough to put a U.S. family of five above the poverty line.

Not that a smaller severance would leave Comey financially unstable: At the time of his nomination in 2013, Comey's net worth was estimated at more than $11 million, according to CNN. This was thanks in part to his cushy job at the world's biggest hedge fund, Bridgewater, where he worked prior to joining the FBI.

Comey is also not exactly leaving the FBI in disgrace. Hedge fund managers and politicians have come to his defense, while those on both sides of the aisle are questioning Trump's rational for firing Comey. The attorney general's office said the decision was due to Comey's handling of the Hillary Clinton emails case, but critics are questioning whether or not Comey's investigation regarding Russia's influence on the U.S. election had something to do with it.

Overall, severance payments are likely to be piling up thanks to the president: Prior to Comey, the Trump administration abruptly dismissed Preet Bharara, the former U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York; Sally Yates, former acting Attorney General; and Angella Reid, the former White house chief usher.
