Why is it that all I seem to read about are new c-suite appointments with salaries in the millions and then see all these layoffs or unemployed support staff? Who is doing the work?

Because we’ve jumped the shark as a nation on morality in the spirit of individual capitalism. The do because they can, and we have all trapped ourselves in an ever worsening situation as devalued cogs in wheels. All the “people over profit” sentiments of days past is gone. Symbolic gestures are cheaper than paying your employees, or hiring enough employees to keep workload manageable.

Yes, keep the company profitable. That is a no brainer, and obviously has to be taken into consideration, but it’s not being handled right this day and age.

We’re close. Almost time for a revolution. Those stock prices would absolutely plummet if we all went on strike for a few days. But that means we ALL have to (seems to be getting there though little by little)

This and senior leaders are having to step down and accept less, leaving no room for growth for those below because there has always been less room at the top of the pyramid.

Curious about this as well as a freelancer who can’t get a bite. Don’t need a salary, happy to be your temp. 🦗

Senior leaders are being hired for their relationships and grow business. It will be interesting to watch a revolving door in 12-18 months.
