This reminds me of the last company I worked for

For a employee population of under 4,000 we had 19 vice presidents.

Some were senior vice presidents.

But considering that each Vice President had to have at least 3 General Managers, and each General Manager had to have at least 2 level four managers and each level 4 manager had to have at least two level three managers.

Each of these managers had their posse of worker bees.

I thought that having four VPs for the entire company would be more than enough.

I worked for that company for 15 years and I never understood what value these 19 (and growing!) number of VPs did..... other than collect their $3-400,000 salary and some other benefits.

I offered to the president an idea for a contest

1. Name the Vice Presidents of our company
2. Explain what each Vice President did

Oddly, my suggestion was ignored.
