Who should we work for and who should we NOT work for? Kevin discusses those that may not be the most beneficial to work with.
I don’t know about you but I’m becoming nauseous over the unending string of CEOs who have deemed it their God-given right to use their shareholders’ money to give themselves interest-free loans, and/or gifts. The arrogance they portray is unconscionable. The whole system was built on the house-of-cards principle. As long as they all stayed smugly within the confines of their corrupt arrangements, life went on as usual. But once that first card was ripped from its base, it all came tumbling down. When I see guys like Kenneth Lay on TV whining about how rough he has it now, I have to fight the urge to blow chunks into an envelope and mail it to him, along with a note mentioning how impressed I was by his wife’s performance on TV crying crocodile tears, and assuring the public her husband would never act in such a dishonest way, and what a great guy he is, yadda, yadda, yadda. It was reminiscent of a former first-lady’s performance assuring the American people her husband faithfully practiced monogamy.
Now, there are allegations against trading houses, investment bankers, stock pickers, Martha Stewart for God’s sake! Say it ain’t so. How can life continue when the girl who has the answer to EVERYTHING is allegedly part of the good-old-boy network? I’m troubled by visions of this self-proclaimed expert on being able to make almost anything out of old curtains, dried leaves and cranberry compote behind closed doors sharing a cigar with her financial consultant. Is that really what “Martha Stewart Living” is all about?
