A Tale of Two CEO’s
This year Lola Gonzalez, CEO of Accurate Background Check of Ocala Florida had a difficult decision to make. After crunching the numbers for her business, she determined that she would need to layoff one of her 8 person staff. In a company employee meeting, she dropped the bombshell news that someone would have to be let go. Her employees braced themselves to hear who it would be, and then much to their surprise, she announced that it would be herself that would be cut in order to save another person’s job.
The story is a little different with the CEO of Johnson and Johnson, William Weldon. He has led one of the largest corporate layoffs in the country with 8,900 people losing their jobs in the last year. During this time, Mr. Weldon earned over $22 million dollars for his efforts (more ceo salaries).
In both cases, each CEO did what he or she felt was right for their company and in one case, the CEO also did what was right.
