They come up the sales route. Sales is code for B.S., brown-nosing, kickbacks, and lack of ethics. You make it sound like cronyism and nepotism has nothing to do with becoming a CEO. Your ad hominem attack on me is funny, but not accurate. Many companies pay millions of dollars to "fire" their CEOs. Please try to convince me that George W. Bush would be who he is if he was born to poor parents. If you can do that, then perhaps you could be the CEO that you speak of.
ahhhhh, the bitter rantings of a low to mid level worker
who can not appreciate what it is a sales person does
try working for a commision
that means being paid for what you produce
nothing more and nothing less
without a salesman most people would have no jobs
because it is the salesman that gets those products on the shelves
just because a CEO has a golden parachute does not mean he is bad
it means he was highly desirbable to the company in question, and he was able to NEGOTIATE the terms to be hired
Being a legacy may get you in the front door, but it does not get you anything after that
Dubya had to earn what he got, like everyone else
does a name help, absolutely
but without follow thru and delivery on promises, a name means nothing
clearly you just hate people who are born in the upperclass, because you think everything is handed to them
that is not the case. Oppurtunities may be , but unless they can follow through and make successes of it, those oppurtunities dry up very quickly
if you only had a clue
and yes i am in sales
i work harder now than in any desk job i had before
every day i have to wake up and wonder if i will get paid
and i earn every penny i make.
as opposed to the drones who do jobs one could train a monkey to do
dont be bitter because you can not rise to what is neccessary to make yourself successful
Sales is a damn hard job and you only get paid when you close the deal
which is why so few can become salesmen
live in your comfortable world of dependable paychecks
but dont bitch and moan because you dont make the big bucks like us salespeople
it is only because you either dont have the ABILITY or you dont have the COURAGE to try
take it deep pica
if it was so easy, there wouldnt be such a high washout rate
if it was so easy, every tom dick and harry would be doing it
but it is an art, and a HIGHLY DEMANDING JOB
i am sure it looks like a joke from the outside, but if you ever had the guts to try it, you would probably wash out like the majority of others who think it is easy
you have seen TOMMY BOY too many times and think it is real world
