There is no universal law that states that the people who manage to work/lie/deceive/kill their way to the top are competent and able to never put a foot wrong, though many people on these forums seem to think that is the case. JB became the CEO of
VB and went about doing his own thing, supported by a board, and which he had the authority to do. He obviously f&*ked it up. That's life though. Think Stalin and Chairman Mao, how did they ever get to rule countries, never mind corporations.
If you are a salary slave (like me), there gets to a point where there's little to be gained by railing against the 'CEO class' with their revolving doors and golden parachutes. Most of those people worked 16 hour days for at least a decade to even get a slender foothold into that exclusive club. The rewards are great, but so is I imagine, the constant pressure and all consuming workload.
Sometimes a little perspective is needed. Fight for what you can get, but if it's beyond your control, then what's the point in constantly ranting. Could you do better?
