Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for September 20, 2019

oh, come on! There must be some way of monetizing blame.

It’s time for him to get a big raise.

That feeling starts in grade school when you haven’t read your assignment and you shrink down in your seat hoping the teacher won’t call on you.

Does “CEO” stand for “Chief Embezzling Officer”?

Wiley always there with the details. I like the “credit” and “blame”

Wonder how many companies would benefit from getting rid of their CEO and the CEO position for good?

Looks like Boeing!

I was amused by the labels on the Y axis. We all expect that to be some kind of financial chart, but not this time!

Of course the CEO has to be there. He’s the one that doles out the blame.

But from a distance……optics after all.

Sort of like Trump’s ratings.

The CEO Flatline…Oy Be still his heart…

Wiley seems to be on a roll. Funny how the syndicate that markets his comic strip has gasp a CEO. Sorry, but you don’t get to bite the hand that feeds you.

Milk ’em and dump ’em.

This says all that needs to be said about corporate executives.

Shouldn’t he be out looking for someone to blame???? Are CEOS more or less popular than lawyers? Inquiring minds want to know. . .

I suppose there are times when either everyone is to blame or no one is to blame. A good CEO knows the difference.

Yeah, he HAS his $9.000.000.000 Golden Parachute ready to go….

The outgoing CEO had some words of advice for his incoming successor: “When a crisis arises, and it will, I’ve prepared 3 numbered envelopes for you. I’ll leave them in this bottom drawer. Be sure to read them in order.”

A year later, sales were really bad, so the new CEO opened up Envelope #1. It contained a sheet of paper with a single sentence: “Blame everything on your predecessor.”

That seemed to placate everyone for awhile, but 2 years later, middle management was ravaged by feuds and resignations, so the boss opened up Envelope #2. It contained a sheet of paper with a single word: “Reorganize!”

And that worked for awhile as well, but after 3 years the company’s stock value had tanked and the shareholders were calling for the CEO’s head on a platter. Desperate, he opened up Envelope #3. It contained a sheet of paper that began with the advice: “Prepare 3 envelopes …”

Is that one of my boys in the middle chair facing us? After all some corporations operate like children, self-centered and incapable of critical thinking.

Google: Purdue filed for bankruptcy paid more than $34 million in bonuses

I once heard this, not sure where (and too busy to Google at moment) – “Success has a thousand fathers but Failure’s an orphan.”

Perfect!

I see the presenter is hiding behind the chart to protect himself from flying criticism.

Or tomorrow…

That downward dip is so Low they can no longer pay his Bonuses, so he might as well go Home. His Work is Finished here.
