Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for June 03, 2013

Don’t they usually use a virgin? Get IT up here.

C’mon, have a heart, boss!

Aztech?

Another astute observation, Wiley. Thanks for the image!

Bring in the refreshment person.

The corporate world is like a ham and cheese omelette: the cow participated, the chicken made a contribution, but only the pig showed the level of commitment we expect in this company!

Jimmy Cagney in White Heat? If so, we are both showing our age!

…and first at bat is a young accountant from Sioux Falls. He didn’t quite master the are of “cooking the books.”

“Pip pip, old chop — why beef? Liver and loin, I always say!”(from an old “Smokey Stover” strip)

Start with the CEOs and work your way down.

start with bank of america ceo and goldman sachs ceo.

A change in corporate culture??? Not really….

now don’t all run to be first….some one will have to take a stab at it….

Change the word ‘corporate’ to ‘Washington’ and you have the ‘changer-in-chief’.

I nominate middle management. Bone heads just below VP’s. The Peter Principle Poster Child Psychopathic Personalities. (This is a new disorder)

Tyranny is the logical step following capitalism, but a good tyrant is hard to come by.

Talk about slashing overhead !

Nice comments, guys. Wiley really sets the scene.

Usually in a corporate culture, the order of sacrifices starts at the bottom, with the workers.…Once their numbers have been decimated, time and again, then they go after middle management, which in a diamond-shaped organization, is probably where most of the “fat” was in the first place.…Eventually, once middle management’s numbers have been reduced, then they go after senior managment.…The problem here is that the problems in any corporate culture start at the “brains” of the outfit, but they are the ones that take the least of the hits that the rest of the body suffers.

You mean it isn’t already this way????

Downsizing. Hasn’t changed.

The goal setting, mission statement, and strategic planning start tomorrow. Then adding several additonal layers of management.

or, how about the managers of nj tgifridays for switching top shelf booze with low quality booze. customer orders top shelf, and they receive low quality booze.

Please don’t tell me you’re referring to those awful links to the Great Old Ones created by August Derleth.

.I don’t think the gods would be happy with an exec as a sacrifice. They rank lower than lawyers on the cosmological scale. Even Tlazolteotl, the Eater of Filth, wouldn’t touch them.

@ edclectic: He does. In a jar on his desk.

Didn’t anybody tell him Dec. 21, 2012 wasn’t a big deal?

I don’t know why but I lie this :)
