A Professional Proposal

So I had this thought the other day.

For much of human and animal history the coveted social position of "top-dog" was settled through a direct challenge. You know, beating up the old top-dog in front of everyone, sometimes to the death, to lead the group.

I'm sure there's a lot more complicated nuance with how this fight for alpha status worked but nuance is not required here.

CEO's are the top-dog of corporations. Yeah, yeah, there's the board and the shareholders but let's just say this is a Zuck situation where he essentially holds all the power.

Any regular pack-member (employee) doesn't really have much of a say in how things are run. They can try, but the CEO, being top-dog, is calling the shots. In order to get the CEO's position you need to be politically adept, morally flexible, and sometimes pretty smart. Plus you need to spend years climbing the latter unless your dad is on the board.

It doesn't have to be this way.

Let's let our inner MeatEater out and let the members of the pack challenge the CEO directly.

So you think you're better than the CEO? Okay:

Email that fat-cat and challenge them directly.

But here's the kicker:

CC: EVERYONE.

That's right. I'm saying send a Meeting-Invite to the CEO and every last person at the company because if you prove yourself by besting the CEO in front of the whole company... why shouldn't you run the place?

I'm not really sure what you're going to challenge them to, I guess it depends on who you work for. If you work at Meta you might actually need to cage-match Zuck so definitely consider that.

I have no reason to think this would ever work or that it should ever be attempted but the Trump administration should consider making it law while we're all just messing around.
