Asked & Answered~270A Story by JD MajorMust he go?Emergency Board Meeting - Universal Systems Inc. "I put it to you, ladies and gentlemen, that it is time to replace our CEO, due to diminishing mental capacity, as widely witnessed on his TV interview last night." ~ "In reality, I agree Ms. McTeer," Mr. Coombs says, "but, given the release of our disappointing fourth-quarter results last week this would plunge our stock to oblivion." ~ "Reality is the sum of Everything, Mr.Coombs," says Ms. Finley. "It is impossible for you or any human to grasp it in totality. Your point is but an opinion." ~ "Yes," adds Mr. Hensby. "An opinion, based purely on perception and predisposition." ~ "Which is precisely why each and everyone of us was appointed to this board!" exclaims Ms. Perry. "For our opinions and predisposition, aka business acumen!" ~ "As such, it is my opinion," Coombs says, "that we each advise our proxies to liquidate our personal company shares prior to golden-parachuting our CEO into retirement." ~ "I second that motion," McTeer says and bangs her gavel. "All in favor, please raise your hands!" ___________________ © 2024 JD Major |
