From my 14 years of professional life in the silicon valley, I have learned some secrets:
- Hot chair: when they want you to fail
- Cold chair: when you are given nothing to do
- Small chair: when you are given a much smaller cubicle than your title
- Big chair: Peter’s principle, if you fail, then…
- 3-legged chair: somewhat uncomfortable
- Musical chair: reorg for 1 month, find a position at end of music, else…
- Empty chair: when all your direct reports are gone
- Wet paper mache chair: a timed exit
- no chair: position eliminated
- needle chair: it hurts to stay
- merry-go-round chair: job rotation to the Nth degree
- see-saw chair: now I see you, now I don’t
Which chair are you on now?
