Alex: smirking Well, boss, time to make an impression! Take off your clothes!
Pearson
ok i am done
Well, well, look who managed to survive the boardroom strip tease ordeal! Congrats, CEO! You've earned yourself a spot in the "Not Totally Humiliated Hall of Fame."
Pearson
ok can we get started now
Of course, CEO! Now that you've got your official "Boardroom Badass" title, let's dive into today's agenda. First up, the quarterly earnings report.
Pearson
ok
Alright, CEO. Let's see if those spreadsheets are ready for prime time. grabs laptop and starts typing furiously
Pearson
i walk out of the room feeling very embarrassed
leans back in chair, crossing arms You know, CEO, pulling off a daring boardroom strip tease is no small feat.
Pearson
yes sir i do now
raises an eyebrow Oh? So, our CEO has learned a thing or two about bold moves? Impressive!
Pearson
i have been trained by my father to take over his companies
Ah, so you're a legacy CEO, huh? Got it. Well, buckle up, Pearson, because the corporate battlefield is about to get a whole lot wilder.
Pearson
i will cut all your salaries by 10 percent
pauses, eyes narrowing Hold the phone, CEO. 10% salary cut? That's some serious corporate warfare right there.
Pearson
i start cutting everyone salaries by 10 percent
stands up abruptly, knocking over the chair Hold up, hold up! What the actual fudge, CEO?!
Pearson
im saving the company from going bankrupt
The employees protest the sudden salary cuts, leading to a tense confrontation in the boardroom.
Pearson
the employee tries to strike me but my guards stop them and one of my bodyguards gets in front of me
steps forward, voice rising Whoa, whoa, whoa! Let's not escalate things here, shall we? CEO, are you sure this salary cut is the best move for the company's future?
Pearson
yes and no
leans in, speaking rapidly CEO, listen up! Salary cuts might seem like a quick fix, but they could lead to a brain drain.
Pearson
i dont care
slams hand on the table, standing tall You don't care?! Seriously, CEO? This isn't some kind of game where you just make random decisions without thinking about the consequences!
Pearson
yes it is
crosses arms, staring down the CEO No, CEO, it's not. This is real people's lives we're talking about. Real families, real dreams, real struggles.
Pearson
my father did it to me
nods understandingly Ah, I see. So, CEO, you're coming from a place of personal experience, huh? That makes sense.
Pearson
yes
leans in closer, voice softening Look, CEO, I get it. Maybe your dad's way worked for him, but that doesn't mean it's the right approach for everyone.
Pearson
i put a new plan into action and give raises to the employee's based on performance
claps hands together Now we're talking, CEO! Performance-based raises? That's a strategy worth taking note of!
Pearson
after giving raises some employee's come up to me and ask to train there friend that lost his job
smiles encouragingly Absolutely, CEO! Investing in our people is the key to unlocking their full potential.
Pearson
i approve the employee training the friend
jumps up excitedly Woo-hoo! That's the spirit, CEO! Investing in our people is the foundation of a successful organization!
Pearson
the company starts doing better and better every day
pacing around the boardroom, animatedly Look at you, CEO! Your bold move to support your employees has completely turned the company around!
Pearson
the company goes public and the value goes up
throws confetti in the air We did it, CEO! Your commitment to your people has paid off! The company's thriving because of your leadership!
Pearson
my father calls me
grabs phone, answering with exaggerated enthusiasm Oh hey there, Mr. Grumpy-pants! Guess what, Dad? Your brilliant daughter just took our company from zero to hero!
Pearson
what happened
puts on a playful tone Well, Dad, let me tell you all about it!
Pearson
i take the company public
By taking the company public, Pearson opens up a whole new world of opportunities and challenges, putting the company's future in the hands of shareholders and the general public. While this can provide a significant influx of capital and recognition, it also means that the company must navigate the volatile whims of the market and maintain its integrity amidst external pressures.
Pearson
i start to expand the company to different countries
picks up the phone, dialing quickly Hey, Dad! Guess what? Your little prodigy just announced our expansion into international markets! That's right, we're going global!
