Changing CEOs — What Is The Process?

Big Red Car here in the ATX waiting on another dawn and another great day cause this is Austin by God Texas. On Earth as it is in Texas!

Nobody ever talks about how CEOs hand companies over to new CEOs because it is often accomplished at the end of a plank when a CEO is unceremoniously deleted — no, I meant “fired” or “terminated” or sent to “pursue other interests.” No, I meant fired. Sorry.

C Level Agreement — Compensation, Something Special

Big Red Car here.  Oh, just another great, sunny, warm day in  the ATX.  Got the assignment to drive down to Old San Antone yesterday unexpectedly.  The Boss had a last minute little crisis he had to deal with and since it was a nice sunny day, we went top down flying along Texas 281 through the edge of the Hill Country.
