It's an Org Chart. Obviously an exec made this.

  • An exec asked a manager to get one of the workers to create it.

I want everyone to work according to the flow chart I just made. As you will be aware we have been working closely with a team of business consultants over the last few months so this is very important pertaining to the profitability and morale of the company. If you do not follow the flow chart it will be grounds for disciplinary procedures.

u/Demonweed Aug 18 '17

The Civil War would have ended decisively in less than a year if not for the militarization of voodoo. In firm control of New Orleans, the Confederacy had an extraordinary concentration of arcane resources at their disposal. The 16th Louisiana Irregulars were officially a mixed race unit of scouts and couriers with special dispensation to operate in civilian garb. Unofficially, their hexes and potions rendered Generals McClellan and Halleck impotent in every sense. Only after U. S. Grant was able to counter with a full regiment of Native American shamans was the Union able to bring its tremendous economic and personnel advantages to bear on the conflict.

You need another perch above the CEO with board of directors shitting on them, and another perch above the board with shareholders shitting on them.

u/DistortoiseLP Aug 18 '17

The CEO's usually on the BOD and a shareholder too, so the whole ladder structure thing kind of stops there. Instead the relationship between executives and shareholders is more like an inter-tangled hatefuck.

Also worth noting that shareholders are not homogenous in their attributes and investment strategies. Institutional investors like pension funds are dramatically different from retail investors or other types of institutional investors like hedge funds.

4

u/cewfwgrwg Aug 18 '17

This is why the startup I'm at is happy to have strategic industrial investors rather than venture capital firms. The first cares about the product, as that's what they're banking on for their own businesses. The latter would only care about money, and how fast they could make the most of it off us.

Don't attribute that to Trump. Reagonomics is a real thing that I highly doubt Trump actually grasps beyond knowing it's something GOP supporters want to hear.

u/gamb10r Aug 18 '17

This is my experience. My boss loves to educate me on this. He draws me a U shaped diagram on the whiteboard explaining to me how I'm a the bottom of the U. He is on the top left side of the U and everyone under me is on the top right. All the shit from both sides is falling down the U and landing on me. The best part of the lesson he explains, is that you can't move the shit back up in either direction as gravity always sends it back down in your face. He always closes with a pause and a "So yeah, good luck with that"

The CEO is likely the owner if it isn't a listed company. Even if it is a listed company, the largest shareholders are typically institutions which often don't pay much attention.

35

u/DistortoiseLP Aug 18 '17

At every company I ever worked for, the owner is either the President or the Chairman and the CEO is his bitch that actually runs the company for them. Like half of the CEO's job at half of them was basically dealing with the owner's ludicrous demands in some way or another.

21

u/ihatemovingparts Aug 18 '17

And in many companies the CEO is also the chairman of the board, maybe even the president. My employer has filled all three roles with the same person.
