Fun twist: if management takes risks and fail then you are still the one who gets fired

Hello!

Thank you for subscribing to Corporate Facts!

Did you know your middle manager probably makes double your salary while only doing half the work?

Please reply "Stop" to discontinue facts, otherwise enjoy more!

How do I become a middle manager?

[-] dandroid@dandroid.app 11 points 1 year ago

Gotta be just good enough at your job for the company to not want to get rid of you, but just bad enough at your job that they want to move you into another position.

[-] Bahnd@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

You have to defeat the previous middle manager in Mortal Kombat! Then you must consume their brains to gain their departmental knowledge.

That's alright he doesn't know anything. I literally sent him an email today and basically just told him what to do in it. He's useless.

I assume he does the paperwork or something because otherwise he has no point.

If management takes risks and succeeds then they are geniuses that coordinated all success.

[-] tdawg@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Sounds like someone's ready for a nice bump in their equity

[-] LifeInOregon@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

If they take big enough risks and daily in great enough ways, while their employment may end they may even get a special payment to recognize their previous willingness to take risks with the employment of others!

My boss recently told me pretty much this, but that he added we should develop the ideas "on our own time" as a work around to getting fired

[-] GreenMario@lemm.ee 11 points 1 year ago

It's called blackmail. Find out who your boss is fucking on the side (they all are, no exceptions) and what kind of economic shit they get into then when they fire you you fire them from a comfy life.

[-] moistclump@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Of all the shitty things managers and executives do that we could point at… why would you say they’re all cheaters “no exceptions”?

[-] echodot@feddit.uk 2 points 1 year ago

Actually quite a lot of them don't cheat because they have no lives outside of the office.

They literally lived to be a third level night manager of a carpet store or something. I bet they go to dinner parties and talk about it.

Oh yes, I love doing R&D for my employers during my free time.

[-] JohnDClay@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 year ago

That sounds like a great way to get a culture of extreme risk aversion.

[-] WheatleyInc@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

That line would make this comic about a hundred better than it already is.
