Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for February 28, 2014

touche

Best series EVER!

This is why we read Arlo and Janis first every day. That, and alphabetical order.

I wish for the day when CEOs are no longer considered, ‘better than the rest’..More times than not they got the gig because they were a fellow member of a fraternity...The best part, “We have to pay them these obscene amounts of money. If we don’t they may go somewhere else.”.Let ‘em. There’s been only a handful at best that were actually good at their jobs. Most should only be allowed sweeping floors at the place.

People will watch anything…

Ever watch “Undercover Boss”? Those guys don’t know nuttin’.

As one of the “peons” (a.k.a. service reps) at a major health insurance company, management acted as if the world would end if there were more than three people out (of 40 in the office), but the CEO could take a month’s vacation and nobody missed him.

Heisenberg.

Best. Series. Ever. (and most disturbing)

A CEO wanting to be on TV is an indication that this is not one of the better CEOs.

It seems a lot of things are backwards these days, a LOT of things….

welcome to hollywood and the mindset that is slowly taking over the country

CEO’s come in all flavors. I worked for a small company & our CEO was nicknamed “Wild”. He was infamous for cursing & other rude behavior. Every morning, when I look out the window of my paid off home, I think fondly of the man.

I just saw a story online about a guy arrested for cooking meth. In his mug shot he is wearing a “Los Pollos Hermanos” tee shirt. It’s true!

“It’s a strange, strange world we live in Master Jack”.As to the proper pay for a CEO, that is up to his or her boss — the board of directors, and nobody else’s business unless they have shares of stock in the company. If the janitor could do the same job and do it as well, they should hire the janitor. (Most could not and would not.)

Reality shows tend to adhere more closely to the script.

Nope, I still don’t know that.

I knew better than to get an MBA! most of those aren’t worth the paper they’re mass produced on. “Case studies” can’t teach innovation. My degree is in economics, and while one could argue that the market decides all saleries, there are SEVERAL artificial price floors (and no few celings too)on CEO compesation. .The arguement for high pay is the same one used for sliding scale taxes (a higher percentage at higher levels of wealth) and that is the priniple of deminishing returns. If you make a $1,000,000, a 10K bonus doesn’t mean to you what a 2K bonus means to the guy making $200,000, and that’s not even as nice as the $500 bonus for the guy making $50,000.even though they are the same percent of the salery. (Think back to when you were a kid making about $200 a year in allowance/chore money and think about how AWSOME finding $2 in a pocket was.)
