NEW YORK—Claiming he could easily fit into a similar position at most companies, local CEO Mike Waltke told reporters Monday that his skill set was transferable to any job that requires an inept dumbass to receive a big salary. “I have the incompetence necessary to effortlessly transition into a role at any company that yields a seven-figure income,” said Waltke, adding that as long as a business pays him millions of dollars a year, he’ll adapt quickly with his long resume of botching simple tasks and making stupid fucking decisions. “No matter what the industry is, if they need a complete doofus who makes tons of money, I’m their guy. I’ve spent my entire life honing my stupidity from one job that pays millions to the next, giving me skills that every corporation is looking for in their highest-paid positions.” Waltke continued that, with a few more years of proving himself to be at the forefront of being a fucking moron, he could one day become the richest dipshit in the world.
Seriously, though, what do CEOs actually do? How can one person (totally hypothetically) be the CEO of a car company and a rocket company at the same time, but spend all his time doing drugs, gaming, and destroying democratic institutions? What value does that add to the company? Or, say Walmart fired its CEO and didn’t replace him? How long would it take customers to notice, and what would they notice, versus firing store employees with an equivalent amount of compensation?
You missed some companies. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elon_Musk
No way he puts in much time on any of those.
I hear tell that several of those companies have entire departments solely dedicated just to distract Musk with bullshit when he visits, so he doesn’t attempt to do any “work”.
Musk showing up to perform work is how we get things like “Human eyes don’t have LIDAR so a Tesla doesn’t need it either”.
How terrible it must be to have to actively run interference to keep the CEO from breaking the company.
They talk to rich people. Thing is, we decided the best way to run the economy is to have it solely be controlled by toddlers who inherit money and grifters who can trick them into giving them money. You need CEOs for that second part.
