Lot of these management guys are smart enough to just move to an other job after the success and just before it turns into a slow death.



In Wall Street tech its pretty common to see someone with a string of 2 year leadership stints that is basically the above.

Promise the world, hire, build, fail to deliver, move on.


True! But once again, if they’re playing the game, all good.

Lots of respect for any worker, management or otherwise, who prioritizes their own welfare over someone else’s profits :)

All the company has to do is change the rules of the game!

The buck stops at the top of course, perhaps unless it’s something like government or a non-profit, but even then I’m not sure.
