Still Employed...YEA!!!

So the VP of our division was in the office today and after he and our Regional manager left I still have a job...Awesome. They had a meeting with all the managers and each of the managers asked a question. It went like this...with growth slowing and being stagnant in some sectors how does the company, blah, blah, blah....what are we doing in regards to price concerns, blah, blah, blah.....how is our expense structure effecting our pricing with our main competition....and then me....So, is it still cool getting to fly around in the corporate jet or has the thrill kind of worn off? The best part was the answer, "The corporate jet is very well utilized there are people all over the company that hitch a ride as long as they can show a business need...and yes, it's still cool." Which is how it should be. When you are an executive you should be a complete professional at the office. You should also be singing and dancing in your underwear as you get dressed every morning. Once the thrill is over and you have stopped appreciating the good fortune that came along with your position then you don't deserve your position anymore. I am not saying that people get that job out of luck. I AM saying that in a company of 5000 employees you are an ASS if you think it's obvious that you were the most qualified out of everyone else. Some of it had to do with being in the right place at the right time and when you lose the appreciation for that then you need to GO. Anyway, I have even more respect for the executives in our company than I did before so that has got to be a good thing.
