I like how misc includes "personal" meetings as if those same fuckers wouldn't have you fired ten times if they caught you on a personal call on work time

What I'm reading there is that they actually work like 30 hours a week. But I guess if you worked your way up through the company for decades to earn that CEO spot, then it's one of the benefits of being a company person! They wouldn't hire someone from outside a company to run it, right?

Nice to see that CEOs agree with me that meals, commuting, and work-related personal aftercare is "company time" and people should be compensated for it.

Now- now, you'd be stressful too with how many meetings and phone calls you had to attend on a weekly basis if you were them. You need time to decompress with frequent visits from an expensive escort or your expensive mistress and cover that up so your wife doesn't find out. That's a lot of time and effort on its own, you know!!

Lmao found it



5 hours a week for "business meals". Meaning he is charging the company for his lunch hour.
6 hours a week "working alone". Meaning he is charging the company for sleeping off his hour of a liquid lunch that he also charged the company for.
20 hours a week of "travel, exercise, personal appointments etc." Meaning he is charging the company whilst he goes to the gym, and meets up with friends.

31 hours out of a supposed hard 55 hour work week is getting paid for eating, sleeping, and loving around with his mates.

This is not even counting the 18 hours he spends in "meetings" where the hardest thing he does is make vague pronouncements using 'synergy' and other businessy type words whilst being applauded coz he is the boss.

Those 31 hours are the least harm the CEO is doing to the company tbh. The meetings are actively harmful

Hey, some of that "working alone" time must be approving the emails someone competent wrote for them to send to all staff.

At most 6 hours of real work. Meetings and calls are things that mostly just prevent work getting done.

Nah, meetings might be annoying and unproductive but they're work. You can tell by noticing they're the one thing on the list that counts as working hours for anyone other than the CEO. Pointless busywork required by an employer is still work :colbert:

The function of a CEO is to ensure a hierarchical structure to business operations that minimizes the risk of exposure of financial inflows to those generating the profit.

By concentrating nominal authority into one person you can instill a hypothetical fear of firing to even upper management that cascades down and controls workers.

If a CEO had meaningful duties that defined them moreso than power for power's sake, profit to investors would be threatened.

They lose the company money with terrible decisions and then get millions of dollars when they are fired because there are no consequences once you hit the level of CEO.

Eddie Lampert needs to die in a vacuum: (Idiot King edit: spoilered description of a violent industrial death because this is the Funny Pictures thread, not the OSHA thread)

"A 38-year-old male maintenance worker (the victim) died after being drawn into a 17½-inch-diameter positive-pressure vacuum pipe at a paper processing plant. The victim and two co-workers were attempting to replace a blower on a vacuum line with a pressure of 3,740 pounds per square inch (psi). The vacuum line transported wood chips 300 yards from the milling process into the paper plant. The blower was located 10 feet above the ground at the outside wall of the plant, and was accessed by a 2-feet-wide steel-grate catwalk fastened to the outside wall of the plant. The crew on the previous shift had prepared the replacement blower for installation and moved it to the worksite. When the victim and his co-workers arrived at the site they were instructed to remove the faulty blower and install the replacement blower. After the men unbolted both the 10-inch pipe that fed wood chips to the blower from the milling process, and the 17½-inch pipe that led from the discharge end of the blower, the faulty blower was lifted out of position by a small crane. The victim attempted to walk past the unguarded 17½-inch pipe when the vacuum suction pulled his chest against it. He called to his co-workers for help and both men grabbed him and tried to pull him away from the pipe; however, the victim was doubled over backwards and pulled 38 feet through the pipe by the vacuum until he was stopped by the intake shroud of the next blower on the vacuum line."
