What does it take to be a boss at CX these days ???
When the Body was First Made,
All Its Parts Wanted to be Boss...
THE BRAIN SAID : Since I control everything and do all the work I should be boss.
THE FEET SAID: Since I carry man where he wants to go and get him to do what the Brain wants, I should be boss.
THE HANDS SAID: Since I must do all the work and earn all the money to keep all the rest of you going, I should be boss.
THE EYES SAID: Since I must look out for all of you and tell you where danger lurks, I should be boss.
And so it went with the Heart, the Ears, and the Lungs.
Finally the Asshole spoke up and demanded that he be boss. All the other parts laughed and laughed at the idea of an asshole being boss.
The Asshole was so angered that he blocked himself off and refused to function. Soon the Brain was feverish, the Eyes crossed and ached, the Feet were too weak to walk, the Hands hung limply at his side, the Heart and Lungs struggled to keep going.
All pleaded with the Brain to relent and let the Asshole be boss, and so it happened. All parts did the work and the Asshole just bossed and passed out a lot of ****.
MORAL OF THE STORY ?
You don't have to be a brain to be boss, just an Asshole.

From "The Australian" today:
VIRGIN Blue executives will take a pay cut of up to 30 per cent as the airline sheds 400 jobs and removes up to five planes from service by the start of May.
The airline announced today that it planned to cut domestic capacity by 8 per cent by removing five aircraft from operation.
It said the "prudent interim capacity management plan'' was in response to a continued forecast deterioration in domestic demand.
The reduction in aircraft means Virgin must shed the 400 full-time positions but chief executive Brett Godfrey has told staff involuntary redunancies would be the carrier's "very last port of call''.
He has called on the airline's general managers to instead reduce staff by redeploying them to other businesses such as international start-up V Australia, leave without pay, job sharing and a recruitment freeze.
"To start the process, our general managers and executive management have unanimously elected to take a pay cut of 20 to 30 per cent of their annual incomes,'' he told staff in a newsletter.
The aircraft will be kept as operational spares until Virgin believes conditions have improved enough to return them to service or the airline can find viable alternative uses.
Mr Godfrey said the airline's strategy would allow it manage through the downturn as well as "power back up'' quickly when the economy recovered.
"While we are not pessimistic about the the future, we are pragmatic about how this outlook could impact Virgin Blue, particularly in the Australian market, if we do not stay ahead of the curve,'' he said.
