[QUOTE="Manbearcat, post: 9319619, member: 6696971"] Well, I have a handful of anecdotes (not me, but I'm involved or adjacent) of the "yeah, you're done here" ("firings") variety with Managing Director and above. The most recent anecdote involves the 2.5 year stay of the Managing Director of my partner's flavor and enzyme company (which was bought by a German parent company who hired this MD > became publicly traded at that point > then was sold to an affiliate Welsh company). This MD couldn't have been more worthless. 2.5 years earning a gang of money to basically do nothing while my partner effectively ran every aspect of the business from office management to regulatory/audit to logistics/infrastructure to States-side HR to customer support to sales/branding to actual productions/receiving/warehouse management (she is supposed to just be the chemist and perform R&D and related...lawls). When the axe came down for this deadbeat MD from the parent company that now owns them, there were extended negotiations of severance and another 4 months of do-absolutely-nothing and make a gang-of-cash doing nothing for this MD while everyone at the States-side facility endures the total leadership vacuum (official leadership vacuum that is...again, my partner has basically been "the leader" for the last many years...but now she gets to deal with things while the slow path forward is being carved out)...and then you'll..."retire." So, in my experience, "the hook" doesn't come with the speed and the branding of "YOU LOSE, GOOD DAY SIR" at Managing Director and above. But I'm just one person and I don't have piles of data to support that. [/QUOTE]
