Preaching to the choir here. If you think it's so hard and stressful to lay off an employee, try being the one on the receiving end. If you're so worried about the company's financial prospects while you earn more than anyone else in it, I don't have a ton of sympathy for you.
" The great CEOs tend to be remarkably consistent in their answers. They all say: “I didn’t quit.”"
What a load of crap. For several million a year, neither would I.
- anto210 16y agoNot all CEOs make "several million" a year - that is a ridiculous comment.
- grammaton 16y agoYou're right. Think of all those poor slobs making in the mid six figures....
- coffeemug 16y agoIf you think it's so hard and stressful to lay off an employee, try being the one on the receiving end. I've been on the receiving end of a lay off, and I can assure you that letting someone go (especially if I was the one who hired them) is much more stressful psychologically than being let go off. If you're so worried about the company's financial prospects while you earn more than anyone else in it, I don't have a ton of sympathy for you. We're a small startup, and me and my cofounder earn less than everyone else in the company. As we grow, I expect our salaries to grow a bit, but they'll never be much higher than a median salary. Most really great people are compensated in stock options.
- grammaton 16y ago> We're a small startup Was the article talking about small startups? I've worked for (more than) my share of small startups - most of the "CEO"s of small startups are closer to owner/proprieters than CEOs.
