Announcing GSE Capital
July 11th, 2006
The other day, a co-worker and I were discussing a senior executive at our company. This person causes enormous chaos and swirl, and the fact they have been able to remain employed goes a long way towards explaining the state we’re in.
So I got to thinking… The executive in question manages a very large organization. What if we just got everybody in it to chip in just one paycheck? We could cobble together enough money to cover this person’s salary and pay them to just Go Someplace Else.
So that’s what we did. We’ve founded GSE Capital.
One paycheck, that’s what we ask, and we’re gathering enough that we can simply pay this person to just stop coming to the office. They can take the money and start a new company or just lounge around the yacht, laughing at us. No matter. The simple act of removing the irritant will improve morale and productivity.
No reason to limit this to just employees, though. It’s in the interest of every shareholder to contribute as well.
Here’s the best part: These people’s egos won’t let them just sit around. They’re going to take the money and try to start a new company. If they really are as smart as they keep telling us they are, then they’ll give us a great return on investment. If not, we’re rid of them cheap.
We win either way.
