Davis Out, Abney In - New Meat for the Old Bitching Beat

[rod]

Sure.
Other than Davis, these people became CEOs with a wealth between 10 and 20 million or more in today's dollars.

People not in the know think a CEO has a great life but it is pretty much of a crappy life to people like you and me.
They travel all the time, they are on conference calls in the middle of the night, there is no such thing as a real vacation ... CEOs are owned by UPS 24/7/365.

they travel all the time----first class
conference calls---they go like this "fix the friend-ing problem or heads will roll--click"
owned by UPS---hell I would let them own me again for 10 million a year for
awhile


Are you seriously trying to get us to feel sorry for a CEO?

 

[Highwayman]

I'll take the CEO job for a year.

I can tell you more than likely if I was a high level pro athlete I would of retired at 30 and enjoyed the rest of my life.

The difference between you and the majority of pro athletes is you would have invested your money wisely which would have given you the option of retiring at 30.

What changes would you make during your time at the helm?

He will promote UPstate to the official spokeperson for UPS.

Come on down here to Roswell center, the closest to corporate, there's a fresh tube of lipstick in office management can share. We'll all be here to greet our new CEO as preload still won't be down at driver start time.

Yeah, those poor, poor CEO's. Must suck to travel all of the time on corporate jets. And no vacations huh? You got some proof of all of this BS? I bet the corporate offices don't have heat or A/C either. They probably have to buy their own groceries and wash their own cars too, huh?

Man, that's got to be a rough gig. There must have been 50 or 60 executives who turned that job down before this sucker decided to ruin his life and take that hellish job...

But they fully understand going in, that they have sold their soul to the Devil, and the Devil will demand his due......

And so did you?

 

[Bubblehead]

When a CEO is not promoted until his 50's with 20 + years with the company, it is not the money that they are interested in.
I've known and been around 5 CEOs and none of them needed the money ... it is about creating change and having a legacy and most importantly, the power to effect their goals to to create that change and legacy.

Like Obama?

 

[MethodsMan]

Just a name. The stockholders still run the show.

Face the music. The turkeys are gone. Gone.

They got eaten by Orion's "efficiency".

I would fix orion so it stops making me take left hand turns all day. LOL

 

[The Blackadder]

His 1st move will be to have us working Christmas day.

Who needs a family when you have UPS.

aww, i feel so horrible for them.. They sound like they have it pretty rough. (Ya right) Give us a break Photog.

They wouldnt have conference calls in the middle of the night if the programs they push werent working.

Travel? Hey bub, we drivers travel everyday in all kinds of weather without breaks from rain, snow, mud, wind, cold, heat, hail, it must be tough for these CEO's to fly around in limos and private planes.

YA, they sound like they have a real crappy life. Making millions for doing nothing more than compromising the business with horrible business decisions that cost this company money.

Sorry bro, no sympathy from me.

Ineffective bean counters who do nothing more than impress each other while in a circle jerk.

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

Do any of you realize that our CEO is responsible for all of the divisions within the company, not just small package?

Photog makes some very good points in his post.
