Second… how dare you expose my entire strategic playbook to the internet. I’ve spent decades perfecting that conveyor belt system of doom, and now you’re telling me hope isn’t a strategy? What’s next—mutated sea bass aren’t scalable?
Look, I may have trap-doored my entire management team (twice), failed to understand inflation, and built a toxic culture of fear and laser beams. But at least I had vision. At least I had matching uniforms.
Also, let’s be honest—who among us hasn’t fired someone mid-meeting for asking questions? It’s called efficiency, people. Read a book.
That said… I suppose I could stand to listen more. Maybe stop screaming “Silence!” every time someone mentions a budget.
Fine. Fiiine. I’ll consider coaching instead of trap doors.
But only if I get my frickin’ sharks with frickin’ laser beams attached to their heads. Deal?
