"The way I see it every life is a pile of good things and bad things. The good things don't always soften the bad things, but vice-versa, the bad things don't necessarily spoil the good things or make them unimportant."

 

Another one from Doctor Who. As you can probably tell, I am a fan.😄

CEOs are not the most important asset. Frontline employees create the wealth that drives the business. Too many CEOs, CFO, and COOs have an inflated opinion of their value to their company. Take away the frontline employees and there is no company. Too many CEOs apparently have no idea what their company produces and who is doing the production. Too many CEOs slash the bottom and leave the vastly over-paid, already top-heavy management structure in place. It’s unsustainable.

Trimming upper management would probably save the company around the same amount of money, but no one wants to suggest cutting their own job when they can get others laid off instead. Upper management makes those sorts of decisions without consulting the employees affected. Take a look at how many companies start their death spirals by cutting jobs at the bottom without touching the upper management who made the lousy decisions that forced job cuts in the first place!

And CEOs that caused huge losses still get enormous golden parachutes when they fail. Unlike the poor employees who lost their jobs even though they worked loyally for their employer. Those failed CEOs often get hired by other corporations that end up desperately slashing jobs trying to stay out of bankruptcy due to poor decisions at the top.

“Courage does not always roar.
Sometimes courage is the quiet voice
at the end of the day saying,
‘I will try again tomorrow.’ ”
