Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for October 20, 2020

I used to work for a guy like that.

Out of the Thirteen Days of Halloween Countdown -

Welcome to day Eleven.

If Ouija is scary… think what worse things are part of the rest of the countdown!!

Chairmen can be large or small. This one’s a medium.

The annual meetings I get messages about generally hide that behavior behind bonuses for all  the board members, though it seems to usually be based on the amount of stock they hold.

Money for me, but none for thee.

Not just the Ouija boardroom, EVERY boardroom

That company must be a brokerage.

That’s the spirit, old chap – blatant for bucks.

That Ouija board is biased! Better check it out for gaffs (cheats).;-D

I don’t need a Ouija to predict that.

Wiley, you crack us up, Great Job!

Is this eerily prescient comedy? As any French or German chairman of the board would say, “Oui” and “Ja”.

Self fulfilling prophecy… Again. Empty bord room in a year as everyone leaves to work for the competition.

I didn’t need a board to know that result.

Next on the agenda is the treasurer’s report on how much cash is in the bank

Every year the chairman gets a bonus. Either because he worked hard to generate record profits or he worked hard to keep the losses from being worse. The chairman never loses. The pee-ons on the other hand……………..

Reminds me of the bank scandals when all the bank heads still got big bonuses even as their banks crashed.

what are things like at the OUIJA Board factory? Those people must never have a good day.

Too obvious. He needs to make up some plausible lies!

That plus the COVID payouts to rich corporations and he’ll make out for sure!

Don’t need a Oiuja Board to predict that

I worked for a company that got bought out first by one company and then 3 months later by another. The head of our office was complaining he ONLY got $15 million dollars as a bonus for the three months he was there instead to the $50 million he was supposed to get for that year.

We all felt so sorry for him.

I wonder what the rest of his severance package looked like?

Living to stereotype.

Greed; financial, moral, theological, political, the path to power or doom. As inevitable as taxes and denial.

The pay and bonuses for the company’s officers, upper management, and salesmen were based on the sales figures. For the rest of us any pay raises were calculated from the net profits. As the fiscal year end approached we would start hearing that our overall sales were great, but the profits were not as expected. I’m sure the big wigs felt so generous, as they doled out those up to 1% raises.

“And now, let us turn to the shuttering of all our facilities and bankruptcy proceedings…”

Son of a gun. That’s exactly what I thought. Executive logic is indeed a mix of hocus pocus and greed. That explains a lot.

surprise, surprise… yeah

Synch with Buni yesterday: he uses it as a texting service with a local ghost.

Well look at that, peons! It shows I am a fortune teller too. It tells me that I will be making another fortune this year! As a CEO I don’t even need a ouija board to know that it will be at your expense.

“Friends don’t let friends use a Ouiji board.” — October is Ouiji Awareness Month. In this case, this guy has no soul left to worry about.

A Cabinet meeting in D.C.

These guys must have the best marketing dept ever.

You’d think the chairman at the Ouija company would get the lottery numbers right now and then

We got a letter from the SEC. I’m leaving the corporation as of today in my “Golden Parachute.”

If it’s not an exact séance, how come it always comes out exactly the same?

Ouija Board Room Would make a good Wheel of Fortune puzzle.

A lot of companies make their decisions this way. This one’s just honest about it.

Downright spooky.

Bring back the Captain!

I always thought that every one of the assembled group had to put a finger on the pointer.

Ouija look’it that…!
