If you had the chance, what would you ask your company CEO?

SideWinder · 22 Mar 2014 at 18:09

My company has a meet and greet every couple of weeks with the CEO and a few other random directors.

A few mates of mine have been and enjoyed it but mentioned the usual people that go all mental and over the top with the praise.

I want to think of a few interesting things to ask for when i volunteer...so what would you ask?

Company has around 3500 employees and about to hit £1bn worth of sales which isn't bad for a company that's only been around for 10 years or so.

Fancy giving me a 50% raise?

Why are all the middle management utter utter numpties who couldn't run a whelk stall?

Why do I have to pay to park at work?

Are you honestly happy ?

I would ask him why he is using americanised titles in his company, tell him he's the managing director and stop trying to be something he's not.

Will you swap jobs with me?

I'd ask why he employs such dog **** Managers but that probably doesn't apply in your case.

In one of my previous jobs I would've asked why they paid our managers so much when they did so little.
Then again, if I were the manager then I'd probably not ask that question

What can "I" do to make your job easier.

Take your head out my **** ?

Why do you see me and my colleagues getting assaulted daily as "part and parcel" of our jobs.

Maybe.

but I asked that question and then acted on the answer and my income increased nearly 9 fold.

Was only a joke mate hence that little green smiley that is laughing.

I got that

And to be honest I would respond the same. But thats because most people could ask that question without then acting on the information.

However I have no issue shoving my head right up there and kiss all the ass I have to, to get where I want to be.

I'm now the MD

If I'm going to ask a question its because I actually want to ask that particular question and not because I just want to be seen to ask a question or because someone else posted a question that appears interesting on the internet.

Rupert Murdoch's latest ex-wife first impressed him by asking why he was making a mess of moving into China. I'd suggest asking the same question (doesn't matter what your business is or its geographical scale) with an accusing look and a finger jab in the chest.

ask if he's ever thought about going on channel 4s undercover boss
