Half the jobs I’ve worked, I’d be immediately fired if I interrupted a CEO’s speech. The other half, I’d be in serious trouble and I’d be first on any layoff.

I know a story of a guy who got fired for just talking to the CEO of his large company!

  • america sounds like such a hell-hole

    that would be a nice compensation package in any first world country

    • You’re going to base an opinion on a third-hand story? That might not even be true just to illustrate a point?

      I know a guy that passed BillG in a hallway and said, “hey, Bill, how’s it hangin’?” (Saw him do it; I was mortified.) Just a bottom-tier IC at the time. 20 years later, he still works there. Still an IC, though, so make of it what you will. :-)

      So there, now you have another folksy anecdote to balance things out.
