The blessings of being in charge.
1/You get a large say in how much you are paid.
2/You take credit for when times are good.get a pay rise
3/You blame anyone and anything else when times are bad.Get a pay rise.
4/Because you are in charge people listen to your spin (not too critically usually) and have a better chance at selling your side of the story.
However , reading some press of late maybe people are waking up to the spin.People are wondering why it is that Qantas is having so much trouble with its people, its products and its equipment.
