Avantages
- If you’re in the CEO’s inner circle, congratulations, you’ve basically got tenure.
- You’ll get front-row seats to some of the finest displays of arrogance in the industry. It’s like a masterclass, really.
- Different rulebook for every level. Keeps things “exciting.”
- Watching sackable behaviour being not only tolerated but rewarded is a rare experience you won’t get everywhere.
Inconvénients
- If you’re not part of the chosen few, prepare to feel like an extra in someone else’s show.
- Favouritism isn’t subtle. It’s the company culture.
- Leadership clings on long past their sell-by date — “put out to pasture” would be a mercy.
- The C-suite operates like a mates’ reunion dinner — if you’re not in the club, forget it.
- Standards and accountability? Only for the lower ranks. Different rules apply depending on your level.
