Replace 99% Of You

Open source transcript

I OFTEN SAY EMPLOYEES ARE THE KEY TO OUR SUCCESS.

BUT THAT'S ONLY SO I CAN BLAME YOU WHEN THINGS GO WRONG.

THE TRUTH IS I COULD REPLACE 99% OF YOU, AND WE'D HAVE THE SAME OUTCOMES.

AND WHAT ARE THE ODDS YOU'RE IN THE TOP 1% OF CONTRIBUTORS?

IF YOU LEFT TOMORROW, IT WOULD BE A MONTH BEFORE ANYONE NOTICED.

I'VE ALREADY FORGOTTEN MOST OF YOUR NAMES.

TO BE HONEST, I THINK OF YOU AS SCENERY.

YOU WERE RIGHT ABOUT HONESTY BEING THE BEST APPROACH. I ENJOYED IT.
