They really think that this guy talking about taking 6 weeks off to climb Everest is inspiring?!?

What i'd like to know:
- How much did it cost in addition to the 6 weeks of PTO, a snow suit can cost 7k, and the climbing permit costs 15k.
- How many dead bodies did you have to step over to meet this milestone (on the mountain not in your corporate life)?
- Did you use Wag bags? or did you just $h!t on the mountain?
- If you did use Wag Bags, did you carry our own $h!t down? or did you make a Sherpa do it for you?
- How many porters did you use to carry all your equipment up?
- How many died while you were there (Sherpas and climbers)?
@bc who went to climb Everest????
No one in senior leadership is humble enough to remember how they started or have the experience of being a lower level staff. They all got to where they are through privileged, connections, and brown nose. If they ask them to explain a process or get interviewed by regulators, none of them will know. They have people write talking points for them, create presentations, then read off a script, and expect us all to think they’re just workers like us.
@ag average Everest trip is 60k. It can go as high as 200k. Some of us don’t even take that home a year
Meanwhile the rest of plebs go out on any sort of medical leave and we get hounded for a return date. This tool takes 6 weeks off no problem but to be honest, did anything actually change with his him being away? Did anyone even notice?
@ap never mind see it was National, sorry my brain is fried 😢
Which Town Hall was this?
@a2 PH is mad. His watch was actually 100k. Get it right you peasant!😀
Yep. Inspire people by showing them if they just made money like they did then you can afford to take weeks leave without pay and shell out 10s of thousands more to have someone Sherpa you up a mountain for nice photo Like a boss. Gosh I just want to put in more hours this week. Maybe my merit won’t su-k. Oh wait. It will who are we kidding.
@a2 all these leadership folks are privileged and live in a fantasy world where they ideate unrealistic solutions to problems and expect those on the bottom to magically implement and exceed the expected outcomes. They blame everyone else and give excuses if it doesn’t meet target and layoff occurs. If it does meet or exceed target through everyone else’s blood and tears, they take credit and add on to their vacation homes, Gucci belts, and Rolex.
I did not think a Gucci belt or home on Nantucket in a town hall could be topped, but I was wrong. No wonder the stock price is half of what it used to be —these people are truly tone-deaf mo--ns.
They want to be part of ecological decline. RTO will further erode ecosystem. Climbing Everest just to leave trash behind on the base camps. Seems par for the course. Ruin the environment just so you can brag about something.
@OP - How will that individual fulfill the RTO days requirement during that time? LOA? Usuing up PTO before their layoff or retirement?
Are they addressing the 5k chosen for employee satisfaction survey? Which asks for everything but ones DNA? That it’s confidential which is laughable. Or the “layoffs” planned for tomorrow?
Leadership continues to be tone deaf. It’s either Gucci belts, $2,000 Taylor Swift tickets, 60k watch on wrist, Summer home on Martha’s Vineyard or 6 week trip to climb Everest while the rest of us struggle on pathetic merit increases and constant threat of layoffs to long commutes to an office for “collaboration”. Why is leadership so damn insensitive on every freaking level? Clueless downright cruel behavior. SMH!!!!!
It's not a good comparison to show your team that's more achievable than getting Gail to make a rational decision.
