Playing Money Games

tw · 09-23-2019, 08:20 AM

Spread sheets are suppose to report fatal problems long before those problems leave everyone stuck. Thomas Cook clearly manipulated spread sheets using money games. Suddenly left maybe one half million customers stuck in remote locations throughout the world.

Had spread sheets been reporting what they are suppose to, then Thomas Cook would have downsized long ago. Its impending bankruptcy would have been obvious / expected. Then the world could have planned for that change.

Instead, their business school graduates played money games to deny a fundamental problem. 85% of all problems are directly traceable to top management. Top management would have been replaced with competent management long ago. Or Thomas Cook would have been sold off for pennies on the dollar.

Instead, Thomas Cook management (apparently to protect and enrich themselves) left maybe one half million people stuck far from home. A major international airlift may be necessary. How many golden parachutes did management pocket?

I'm starting to sense a pattern.

I don’t have as much time to compose replies as I used to. Recycling makes more sense.

A good reply should work in all occasions. I think you have a solid one.

Thanks Griff. You are a funny guy.
It’s not perfect but saves a lot of my time.

Time is valuable.

Now let's see how long it takes for him to go to the User CP and put it in his signature block.

Thanks For putting that song in my head.

Hah! I just heard that song the other day, and the line "...so now I'm waiting for the end of time to hurry up and arrive..." has been stuck in m'head since.
