Inherit a business that been successful for over a hundred years, and be the one to fuck it up so badly they have to close it down? Maybe they should feel bad.
I have no sympathy for anyone inheriting entire businesses.
something something no wrong moves and still lose
There’s a reason that, were it ever to happen, I’d stop at SVP level and not jump to C level.
So that you can get paid less and still have to shoulder all the blame?
C levels don’t have to take responsibility except when it makes them look good.
in my practical experience, thats not the case. it may be the case at $10B+ companies, but at <$99MM companies it’s still much safer to draw a salary.
