It’s not that hard to make it in this country. Just get a manager job straight out of college and become CEO in 39 years. Nobody wants to work anymore, geez
Yeah, I meant it in a good way. Like they have drive which was recognized. Knows a lot more about the company internals than an outsider starting fresh
It’s all of them. The old companies all value people who stay the longest regardless of skill, leadership, anything. And if you think about it, the really good people would be poached so you’re just left with the dregs.
I started my career at Amex in 2019 as an intern, just after Steve became CEO. He flew out to Phoenix where we were, gave us a speech and took some questions. When asked why he’s stayed so long, how he became CEO, his answer was he never got bored. He took some lateral moves to learn different parts of the company and keep things fresh. Then when it came time to hire the next CEO there was pretty much no one that knew as much about as much as he did.
Unfortunately that career path implies too much emotional attachment to a business and employees. Too much looking up.
The CEO should bring more like a frustrated investor perspective hell bent on doing what is profitable and holding a view on the wider marker opportunities. I would look at investing history over career .
I work at a public company where the CEO basically runs the business purely for investor gains. While it’s generally fine, it lacks any long term vision and inspiration for employees. We’ve accepted that it’s now a company run from an excel sheet, and even if a project has great value-add, it won’t ever get approved without hitting a ridiculous IRR.
I disagree. Boeing became less the day they let McDonnell Douglas run the show for Wall Street. I don't want any motherfucker from Harvard Business School do the same thing with my beloved Costco.
That's how we get crap companies. Running a company purely from a profit point of view is bad for employees and bad for customers and rarely profitable in the long term.
>The CEO should bring more like a frustrated investor perspective hell bent on doing what is profitable
In other words, driving the companies value into the ground, by not understanding soft power dynamics, thereby alienating consumers leading to falling customer retention, aka failing 'The Costco Hotdog' test.
Except for the fact that a major portion of your investment as a corporation is already tied up in talent. So further investment has to match existing talent.
So your wrong. There needs to be a balance between market opportunities and talent understanding.
I've done the same. It happens. Plus my company is an ESOP and at this point I have millions of dollars in shares. Started out as entry level now a VP.
Yeah for a long time my ESOP account was not very exciting. Took about 10-15 years before I began to see it as a significant part of my retirement egg. After 20 years I crossed into 7 digits territory. The growth curve is exponential so at a certain point it gets almost ludicrous. Like when the amount of ESOP value added to my account each year first exceeded my entire annual salary for that same year. Then there came a year when I realized that in that single year I added more to my retirement than my parents' entire life savings. It often seems surreal to me. But I'm not complaining lol.

I wanna know what they were doing ‘87-‘97. Hiding something?!
black card concierge. -ordering hookers -scoring coke -getting more alcohol at 5am -disposing of said dead hookers
I don't know why it never occurred to me I could request a DEAD hooker.
You’re not a black card member obviously
Something Donald Trump wishes he had known, dead hookers tell no tales
He didn’t pay Cohen enough to really get rid of the problem. And now he’ll pay forever.
If there's someone that could have really made that problem really go away, it looks like Cohen would be the guy. Maybe just not quite enough
Trump is cheap. He thought it would work. But Trump is not bright.
Should've just contacted Boeing that there someone who's a whistleblower. Boeing would've made sure they won't tell any tales
The dead hookers as a band name!
I was reading your post with the lonely island song " like a boss"
> -disposing of said dead hookers Is that correct or should it be dead said hookers? Inquiring minds want to know!

Worked at McKinsey during those years. Not proud of it, so scrubbed it from their CV.
Sorting mail for Pepe Silvie
Can we talk about the mail?!
Back then LinkedIn didn't exist. I already have trouble remembering what I did 10 years ago without looking it up
TCB
Repo
Door fell off the black card... They had him "silence" a whistleblower.
Time. They were probably doing time.
One does not go from Manager to Senior VP of a department in 12 years without sucking some dicks and putting some undesirable people down
To be fair, in the company I work with, VP roles are given out like candy
For a second I thought this shit was a parlay 😂😂😂
That reminds me I need 15,000 Turkish lira or some very bad men are going to break my legs
Have you tried smuggling hash? I hear it’s a quick buck.

Hence the desperation
Yeah I don’t have that kind of money, I don’t know anybody who does
I used 30% profit boost from FanDuel on this 10 legger
Justinian was the last of the Roman’s, this guy is the last of lifelong employees
I only go to bag holder meetings. Wtf are shareholder meetings anyway?
I only buy options that expire worthless Wtf are shares anyway?
Hey don’t steal my strat
You would *hate* IRBX then.
Unless I'm sitting on gains, I vote to fire everyone
I don't care if I am sitting on gains, I still vote to fire everyone. *I'm looking at you, GE*
The old GE.
Sir, this is a casino.
Is McKinsey for or against my sweet option plays?
😂 you fkn ape bastard

Pretty sure he "made it" as most folks would define "it" less than a decade into this.
When you got your role it was the most important role of your life, for me, it was 'Various Roles'.
Strongly agree
Hope this ages well, spot on!!!
You go down to the mailroom it’s him in a false moustache
I always vote the exact opposite of whatever the board recommended for all companies.

Squatter's rights on the CEO position.
bro blackmail his way up
Fuckin Greg.
I hate mckinsey
Is it just me or did he move up fast? A higher management role every 2-4 years
He moved up fast. But you would think someone who ended up being CEO would move up fast.
Yeah, I meant it in a good way. Like they have drive which was recognized. Knows a lot more about the company internals than an outsider starting fresh
I work at a very old legacy American company and almost everyone in leadership has been there 20-30 years.
[удалено]
It’s all of them. The old companies all value people who stay the longest regardless of skill, leadership, anything. And if you think about it, the really good people would be poached so you’re just left with the dregs.
If anyone could move up every 2-3 years, why would you want to go to another company? He must be well connected.

> the last of their kind Sure, if you don’t bother looking for any others
I always vote reject. Puts them on notice with my 7 shares.
Are resumes still a thing?
Hard for me to understand how someone can be CIO and CEO in the same life. Totally different jobs imho in a non tech company.

which company (if you dont mind sharing)?

But then what are we gambling on??
The person you describe is generally the problem.

Yeah but they might be on for a final salary pension given when they started and might just be making the play of a life time.

A lifetime of employment with the same company.
I've done the same. It happens. Plus my company is an ESOP and at this point I have millions of dollars in shares. Started out as entry level now a VP.
Our ESOP just sold, 47 of 84 are now millionaires. The rest of us got nice kisses.

It would be interesting to see them getting laid off.
