We can discuss wage gaps all day long and we probably would agree with some areas.
But, I couldn’t let this paragraph go by without commenting.
Im a CEO of a company and I care deeply about everyone in the company as do one hell of a lot of CEOs.
First off, if I’m taking orders or filling orders, why do I need people like you working in my warehouse? Are you going to quit so the CEO can do your job?
Second, as an example of why I’m not in the warehouse filing orders, I left home on Sunday to spend valuable time representing our company at industry meetings which have built a good reputation amongst current and potential customers....you know....those people whose orders get filled? I’m sitting in the Dallas airport....still not home.
Also, I spend a hell of a lot of time on financing issues that allow us to pay wages for people in warehouses and to fund growth which allows us vto hire more people.
I started in this company at the lowest level and worked hard at every level to get here and I still put in long hours away from family to manage the company so it is successful for everyone.
Im not writing this for a personal pitty party. I love what I do. But, the attitude in this paragraph is frustrating and does nothing to further the discussion.
If you want an example of how a CEO does or doesn’t make the company money, study up on what is happening at GE. It was a very well ran company till the current CEO took over. Now it’s being ran so poorly that it’s not even represented in the DOW anymore.
EVERYONE in the company does an important job to make it successful.
