This is a dumb narrative that needs to die. If I'm searching for a job, I don't ask for a P&L to see if I can work for the most profitable company. I'm worried about what they can pay me.

Some play the game because they love playing it and want to win. Kinda like Brett Favres old line “I play the game for free, they pay me to practice”. It’s their life…some guys want to be paid well, but more importantly they want to win. Some view winning as maxing earning potential regardless if the team has success or not. Hollywood and Tranquil seem like guys that took less to have a chance to win over maximizing individual earnings because they view winning a title as “part of the earnings”. We get those types of deals fairly consistently and kinda expect us to continue to do so. |

Absolutely nothing wrong with that. There are, however, guys who value winning more. See: Tranquil, Drew and Kelce, Travis, among others.

There I was, a young auditor ready to leave the big 4 and go corporate. I interviewed with a company that after years of profitability, was in the red when I interviewed. The CFO pointed out that whether the company makes money or loses it, either way, they'll need financial statements, so who cares? I took the job. The following occurred in the couple ensuing years: -mandatory furloughs! every employee in the company was required to take every other Friday off and not be paid for it. It cut payroll expense by 10% right off the top. -coworkers being laid off! They spread their work around to those of us still standing. -no bonus! The bonus pool required the company to make a profit and it never did while I was there, so the modest amount of bonus I would have been in line for just never happened. -no more 401k match! The company amended their 401k to 'temporarily' cease match on 401Ks. -super low materiality threshold set by the auditors, making way more transactions subject to scrutiny than ever before! When a company's net income is near $0, materiality gets real low. -underwater options! Nothing like having the right to buy stock at $20 a share when its trading for $15. -very low annual raises! -company acquired! And that's the end of the whole finance staff. |
