And compensated at a president’s salary for the new insurmountable levels of responsibilities right?
- marcinzm 2y agoNot everyone is afraid of responsibility simply because it's responsibility.
- chii 2y agoIt's not about being afraid, but about being compensated for.
- Aeolun 2y agoIf so, great, if not, I’ll still take it because otherwise someone else will have it, and they very rarely live up to my standards.
- marcinzm 2y agoWhy does responsibility require or deserve more compensation? You're stating something as if it was a law of the universe but provide no reasoning.
- LeFantome 2y agoYou would be surprised. I know of Creo people that worked in the call center that bought million dollar homes with their compensation from Creo.

So the CEO still made CEO-level decisions and employees made decisions in their area while needing to ask themselves what's best for the company, economically, just like the president should. Trust people to do their job kind of thing really, trust teams to work together etc.
- taneq 2y agoIs ‘responsibility’ really something that deserves outsized compensation compared with, say, actually creating the product being sold? In this context, it doesn’t seem to come worth outsized personal consequences for failure, indeed quite the opposite. I agree there should be some consideration for the additional stress, but not multiple extra figures on the salary.
