I have worked for a Family owned Tool & Die company for 30 years this April 1st.
They are very successful and the family is very wealthy. The owner has been offered $50 million dollars to sell the company and he refuses to do so. Some co-workers are worried that someday someone may make an offer that he can't refuse.
More to the point I want to make is that over the course of my employment several people (including myself) have made suggestions and comments of what the CEO should do in regards to running the company. Direction and ideology.
His reply is most often the same. "You don't understand what it takes to run a successful corporation"
And he is correct. The level of thinking that most of us peons at the lower level have NO REAL CLUE how to run the business side of things. Sure we can operate machinery and manufacture parts but the business side is better left to the man who has built the company for over 50 years from a one car garage in the back yard.
When I hear the amateur CEO's suggestion on FB I always think of my interactions at my workplace. We really have no clue. Get out of Bill's way and let him orchestrate.
