Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for January 27, 2014

said no ‘Corporate Head ever. *Well maybe it was something like ’okay I blew it big time… give me my golden parachute and I’ll go quietly off to some other corporation and screw them too.’

Like Benghazi?

Of course, what difference does it make now, anyway?

There should be a big shoe suspended over the table, waiting to drop. That would take out a few people, at least.

When the chief admits his mistakes there should be no witnesses left behind.

It’s probably just the coffee that turned them all blue.

Actually, it began with Adam and Eve….

“Mistakes Were Made”: the reason Microsoft Word gets on your case about passive verbs.

Oh lord, that’s just what we need to start the week off…more Chris Christie parodies.

Everyone’s expendable… Except me!

I’ve seen plenty announce that they accept full responsibility, and in the next breath announce how they believe they’re the appropriate person to fix the problem they created – what I haven’t seen executives and politicians accept is consequences. Most other people making such far reaching mistakes would be looking at a stint “between jobs” without a golden handshake.

No doubt about how chillingly accurate today’s cartoon is. It is not only a corporate but a political preamble. Right, Gov. Christie ?

looks like all corporate directors are already eliminated and in morning….

When CEOs screw up, people get fired. When Presidents screw up, they dissemble.

So? Those people nowadays all volunteered for the jobs. Those people are provided a good living in exchange for the possibility that they may be called upon to die on demand. Anyway, are those people anyone you know?

“When Reagan said that (after the Marine barracks was blown up) it was the beginning of making sure nobody was ever held really responsible.”I recall when Nixon said this, before Reagan. According to Wikipedia, U: S. Grant had a paraphrase of this . . .

What comes next? “We ask for a government bail-out and we all get huge bonuses when we get it.”

-Speaking as someone who lost relatives to mesothelioma (the cancer caused by exposure to asbestos), let me hasten to reassure you. When CEOs, their assistants, their legal departments and their boards screw up, people also die….

If any CEO resigns, it’s because they have a hefty severance package and can live off their investments!!!

Yeah, I know this. It was “You’re much too valuable an employee to be let go. We need you.”Aaannnd, ONE hour later:“We’re going to have to let you go. Sorry.”Those are direct quotes from the same guy!

Sounds like something Obama SHOULD say but we all know he won’t, the explanations would cut into his next vacation .

In order to maintain the $400-1 CEO:lowest paid employee ratio …. someone/everyone has to go….

You going to fire yourself.

It’s been a while since a President took responsibility…apparently the current one thinks it’s akin to murder.
