Jay Duckwitz on LinkedIn: Always help the richest amongst us first. Again CEOs got a raise of 16%… (2024)

I remember the day I was the first caller (out of >1000) to HR's 'bat-phone' to volunteer to be laid off, post-announcement. Only a single minute prior to my call, the announcement had been made, yet I cursed myself all day long for wasting 35 valuable seconds before I called. In a vicious downward spiral, I later feared my speed would backfire, and in a sick revenge plot twist, leave me un-laid off so to speak. Motivation in reverse.

CEOs really deserve all the money and definitely all the credit, versus non-CEOs (lazy fricking employees) who should walk behind the CEO, head bent low, eyes downward. In yoga we call it the POS pose. :"The median pay package for CEOs rose to $16.3 million, up 12.6%, according to data analyzed for The Associated Press by Equilar. Meanwhile, wages and benefits netted by private-sector workers rose 4.1% through 2023."

I'll wager $100 that this 4 star admiral / executive is a trump supporter, just like your CEO and LT are... It is a mistake to bribe improperly Sir. So there is the right way (lobbying=bribery), the wrong way (you Sir), and the Navy way (long gone).

Closing the beach due to sharks in Southern California is like shutting down NYC due to rats. You can avoid shark bites by never going in the cold, dark, deep, harsh waters of the Pacific in SoCal. I wouldn't swim there, not for fear, just disgusting.

Let's bring back the Great One, Elizabeth Holmes to rescue Boeing. She has already shaved months off her sentence in a TX hellhole, and how she did it, I don't want to know. So Biden pardons her, the BOD hires her at BA, and we are flying high!

Nice to see water pressure coming back to the ATL! That keeps the toilets flushing and residents clean and showered. Of course, the ATL even without water still beats many southern CA cities on their very best day. More police, less H2O, WTF ATL?

Many of us on the far right side of the IQ bell curve (https://lnkd.in/ebdT8vAw) cannot understand the popularity of trump. It's easy folks, the bell curve has a left hand side as well. These trump voters are not to be hated, rather pitied as being limited in agility, or strength of thought. Disabled, under that essential lens, so to speak.

'Denying reality' is an essential corporate skill that leads to things like the 2016 election results. Who is more smug, Joe Scarborough, Greg Gutfeld or Bill Maher? Trick question, as they all hit maximum smugness at 10/10, so it's a dirty tie.To be a 2024 corporate leader you must be a 'smug f*cker', never doubting that you spew reality at a 100% rate. Never wrong, never in doubt. Douchey? Yes they are a bunch of smug liars, perhaps you are one too?Example of corporate smugness: "Pfizer's marketing forecast for covid shots in 2024 was high by many billions of dollars." An actual group of "intelligent" humans denied all reality in that case, they believed their story (narrative) not reality. Paid to be in denial...not me.

"I concluded by this that if you work hard your colleague, your boss, (https://lnkd.in/der32Zjh), your company will appreciate your work. Therefore, some of my friends (including myself) started to work hard to be workaholics. One evening, he busted over me and told me that there is another member of his team who was the sycophant."
