What a group

I always termed the get together of the bigwigs a “meeting of the mindless”

The Peter Principle obtains.

One day some of us heard a ruckus in the warehouse and found the owners two middle aged sons rolling around on the floor throwing punches. True professionals.

The 3 Stooges, Hairy, Joe and Surly

As they fight…..In the background there is heard the maniacal laughter of the boss!

A bunch of idiots that are paid multiple times your salary.

When I worked at the corporate office of a specialty retailer one event we all dreaded was the annual store managers’ meeting. They’d get to fly to SF and stay at a decent hotel on the company dime. They got to tour the office too. That was a thrill. I wanted to unleash my inner chimp but managed to invoke impulse control.

Thinking of the military “Get togethers”. I.e. “Tail Hook Convention”. Drunken misbehavior.

A bunch of idiots…in most cases!
