Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for September 01, 2020

Well, not discussed for a short while anyway.

Which is the CEO, the one on the tracks or the one holding the rope?

Businesses have all kinds of gag rules, most of which will be enforced (if at all) by firing, though some of them may include lawsuits if the ex-gaggee has enough money to make it worth going after… or the CEO/Owner/Board is intent on revenge.

I’ve never worked in a place that did NOT have a “don’t discuss your salary” rule. And I’ve never worked in a place where the employees didn’t discuss it, sometimes causing a good deal of angst or worse.

Private board matters are often fast tracked.

It was either this… or Cement Shoes. No one wanted to dirty their shoes with forcing you to Dig Your Own Grave. But… no one will talk about where your body will go.

Your non-disclosure agreement prevents you from yelling for help.

En-gauging

Err… Does it go in the board minutes of the meeting?

One would think after that, there were no more issues with leaks.

I think he is being railroaded.

Time for Dudly Doright to show up and save the day

AMAZING how everybody here has such a negative view of corporate businesses. . .need to work on their image. . .better yet, need to change the way they do business with the employees. . .

You guys haven’t been paying attention to who is getting laid off and what kind of deal they get. The guy on the tracks is middle management (or lower) and in exchange for the pittance they get by way of severance, they have to stay silent. You don’t need to feel sorry for the ones with the golden parachutes.

Either all those people are very short or that’s a monster train that travels on those tracks.

“I didn’t think this was one when the boss said he would put me on the right track.”

Being on the fast track isn’t always a good thing.

Do you expect me to change my vote?

No! We expect you to die.

Those aren’t boards. They’re the (railroad) ties that bind.

Nyaah ah ah!

Is the guy on the tracks the one who refused to sign the non-disclosure agreement?

What — no bus to throw him under?

Did he sign the NDA?

Well, at least they aren’t throwing him under the bus.

Wait, wait, he has to sign the non-disclosure agreement. Quick, untie him.

I suspect that this is the “Executive Committee” of Liberty University auditioning for new pool boys.

Ah, I see the Board meeting is on track. (ducking now)

This is the opposite of a Golden Parachute so we need a name. Preferably another oxymoron.

“On Track for a Career Change,” is good, but too long.

Poor, poor, pitiful him.

Ooooooo, this might work …4 people to call watchtowers and a sacrifice on the tracks/altar :p

I suggest they back far away if they want to watch the execution. Blood and brains are about impossible to remove from suits.

So we’d like you to sign this NDA….

“These tracks are still working, right? Or did Trump cut off Amtrak’s funding to build his wall!?”

Those tracks are way too far apart/

So, did he remind his boss that the idea was actually his, or did he just say ‘no, that won’t work.’

The one on the tracks is their corporate lawyer who’s advice got them in trouble with the SEC and the FTC.

They need to cover their tracks.

Boeing’s last CEO?

Are the train tracks part of the joke or could it have just as easily been a gallows or a gun etc?

NDA

Hey, man, nothin’ personal – this is just business …

Coup on the track!
