In most companies I would assume a letter like that might damage Mr Thompson's career. However, with a CEO like Dear Leader Elaine, such words could only add considerably to his bonus!
Outstanding work by that man - just the type of person to keep the people above him looking even better and even more worthy of bigger and better bonuses.
It makes you wonder why staff get so upset with a few sacrifices when you have Stephen Thompson's and Elaine looking after the greater good.
Could I be any prouder of my Management Team?
