The ‘Pity City’ CEO Is Sorry Now
The weak non-apology aside, I can <i>guarantee</i> that this person does not feel a shred of sorrow. This is how the vast majority of CEOs think. You can see her sheer frustration at 0:55 in the video, she&#x27;s so genuinely affronted that her employees would <i>dare</i> to ask about bonuses that her speech speeds up considerably.<p>This is to be expected. Typical power structures, especially those in corporate America favor the promotion of liars, backstabbers, cheats, and controlling people to leadership positions at a far higher rate than calm, friendly, nice ones.<p>This goes doubly so now that workers have a bit more power -- remember that outside tech, the job market is still pretty tight for employers, similar to 2021. Honestly, following Douglas Adams in <i>The Hitchhiker&#x27;s Guide to The Galaxy</i>, anyone who is capable of getting themselves into a leadership position should on no account be allowed to do the job.<p>If you want to change this, there are few options -- but a good one is to stop rewarding these assholes with your money. I am going to avoid Herman Miller as much as I can in the future for personal or professional furniture.
