Assuming our product, customer service and corporate culture are still second to none, there is no cause for alarm. We are still the BEST.
Search your feelings, you know it to be true: COVID-19 caused layoffs, not full-year 2019 financial results or consecutive years' pervasive, incompetent C-suite decisions in Labs, H/R, Sales and Marketing.
With any luck, our new CEO will soon let the nepotism flow through him and fully replace our CTO, CPO and CMO with his siblings, cousins, nieces or nephews. That would be an improvement over the status quo.
Then we can all watch fired-up former C-suite execs receive bon voyage gift bags, which include Samsonite brand backpack, 24-karat electroplated-gold travel mug with "GTFO" engraving, a case of Turtle Wax, and a year supply of Rice-A-Roni.
All levity aside, layoffs were ruthlessly executed but that doesn't mean our new CEO isn't the best person for the job. He will improve profitability and get the ship heading in the right direction.
In the meantime, we can enjoy free Folgers Coffee, SunnyD and RC Cola with hull-perforated lifeboats.
