Oh, the poor things!

Of course, none of them will ever have to leave the
comfort of their mansions and yachts to actually fix
anything, will they? Meanwhile, the grunts who actually do
know something of value in situations like this will still be
called upon to drop everything, abandon their families, and
rush to work so that some whimpering twit in East Jibib can
log on to order enough paper clips to fully expend their
yearly budget allocations before the cutoff.

What a joke! The CIO won't even be called at all, disturbing
his precious beauty sleep, unless the entire company is at
risk of foundering. At that point, his only responsibility will
be to assign blame to some hapless scapegoat, thus
keeping his record of blamelessness intact.

Sorry, but I've been in this game for over 35 years, and I've
seen enough of this posturing malarkey to keep me
vomiting for 35 more. The average CIO is a clueless twit
who has never, ever had more than a brief and peripheral
involvement with anything involving actual problem solving
and work, and has risen to their position by virtue of being
adept at blaming others for their own planning and
implementation shortcomings. They are, of course, abetted
by their fellow C-suite losers, who have likewise learned
that delegating blame is the key to success.

This, and many other reasons, are why the United States is
in such dire straits, and all the pompous and self-serving
posturing by the C-suite criminals will not avert the
disaster that awaits the rest of the country as a direct
result of their malfeasance and incompetence.

Sorry, boys and girls, but the party is over, and all the
incompetents who got us to this point have escaped with
the maximum compensation possible, and will spend the
remainder of their lives laughing at the people who
actually work for a living and follow their mindless orders.
Epic Fail.

The next time one of these mewling sycophants tries to
call me out on Christmas, they will get nothing but a busy
signal. Two can play this game.
