When did take off with his girlfriend? Phoney.

Former WeWork Lawyer is not sure if its true that she got equity? WOW, maybe you should change job, as you sure don't seem to qualify as a lawyer!

WeWork, was basically that Softbank's CEO's dream of hooking up with white hippie girls. But unfortunately for him that costed him billions

dang the nets can go under the bottom of the bucket they can go under the sea.

Never have so many, given so much to so few. On the premise, we would all be better off. Great these guys, can create fraud and be rewarded for it, in excessive amounts. Perhaps, the Great Reset, needs to re-occur? Starting here, would certainly redistribute a lot of wealth, very quickly. If a worker was to perform/commit these actions. They would be dismissed. :(

Bob Ross (basically his legacy and son) basically had the same thing happen to him as he did to Bill Alexander. All the "Happy little clouds" and "Let's give the tree a friend" were literally a stolen personality of Bill Alexander, a German artist that had the same type of painting show as Bob Ross and was where and who Ross learned wet on wet painting. He actually took the same technique and Bill Alexander actually hands him the brush over to Bob Ross, thinking it would promote them both. Alexander had a very thick German accent, was aggressive while painting, even yelled at times, but was actually a lot better painter than Ross. Ross got better toward the end, but the whole thing was to get people interested in trying to paint, and sell lessons, how to books and tapes and the art supplies, everything from the brushes to paints to knives to easels. What Ross did was used a very suave approach, I once read he said that he used an almost sexual nature to teach it, which made him very gentle, and it worked. When Alexander got mad, was when the Bb Ross Inc. made sound as though they had invented the wet-on-wet technique (which was used even by the masters) and then the man heard Ross even stealing his own personality, by saying happy little clouds etc. But people loved it better because of how he said it. Then after he died, which I did feel was a loss in a big way, his half of the company ended up in the Kowalskis hands. Main reason is his second wife which had a share as well had died before Bob, so once he died it went to them. His son made a lot of noise over it, but Bob had tried to get him into it as another painter, and he wouldn't. I had unofficially heard he was a booze and drug addict at the time, and thought he was going to get revenue from Bobs part without working, but the Kowalskis fooled him. They funded Bob to get started anyway and were straight right from the get-go it was business, so yes, they took his part because his son had not worked for it. I'd heard he did have a stake in it, but Bob never trusted Steve, so he left it to his brother. His brother had no interest in any of it and didn't care and ended up signing it over to the Kowalskis to keep the Bob Ross Inc. going strong. The show was a facade, Bob Ross was never what you could call a master, he was a speed painter and was basically just trying to make a happy little dollar as he used to say. But if you are going to put down the Kowalskis do your homework first, go back and watch some episodes of Bill Alexander, and though the difference is like night and day between him and Ross, they basically are saying the same things, only Bill was the true author of it. I think Ross did love to paint, I do think he found peace in it, and wanted to share it with others. I think he became the rock star of painting shows, but I don't think he was without sin. I think the one that got screwed the most was Bill Alexander.....

He was not a real capitalist. He was a parasit and opportunist. A shareholdervalue destroyer. He is now in hell. Many will follow.

The name of the game is *discipline*

Milton Friedman is by far the best economist to ever live. Hands down

Neutron Jack.

😃 everything in that media article is untrue. Everything they said about Mafia running Hollywood is total shit. And so are those Photoshop pictures. You must realize that people didn't have televisions in their houses until the 1950s. Whoever dreamed up that fake history is a total liar and fraud.

Jack Welch made China rich at the expense of the American people and factories.

Jack Welch has gone from hero to zero. Pundits would now list him among the ten worse CEOs of all time.

Gee, lower evaluations if you SUCK at your job, who would have thought that would happen. Yay Amazon!

G-d bless, Welch. he is probably why the US economy did not become totally dysfunctional in the 1980s. "Control your destiny or someone else will."

lol

The final few years he took money from the insurance company to show a steady profit rise each quarter, raising stock price. . Eventually it collapsed. But he got all his bonuses.

The rise of the CEO sociopath

The Jack Welch way turned the company into a feudal state.

What I find the worst is how Jeff Imam was left WITH A SHELL made to look powerful and if you come across any former GE CORPORATE types, the blame Jeff and PRAISE Jack. It takes you about 30 seconds of reading to realise what vain slimy type of people these former corporate guys are. The type completely disconnected and indifferent from guys on the ground floor.

Thanks to Jack Welch corporate America's mission statement was reversed instead of first being devoted to your workers and your community Prophet came first and the formula they used was simple when your age plus the number of years you were with the company equal a certain level you will let go

This guy did not just help ruin manufacturing in America, he made bullshting into an art form for corporate executives, which resulting corporate executives putting greater emphasis on theoretical value then tangible value in order to juice the stock value without putting any accompanying tangible value in order to make themselves look good for investors so they can get they're stock options and bonuses. It just not made the corporate America more greedy, it turned into the dysfunctional awful hellscape that is today.

Worked for a CEO like this. Ultimately a very destructive person. He was a CA. Knew nothing about the business and was only interested in the little profitability strategies that he had been taught at university. What a disaster. Surrounded himself with a bunch of similar minded narcissists who sang his tune. Didn't want to listen to anyone who warned about the strategies and how damaging they were to the business. Also used the one-big-happy family mantra to BS employees but in fact cared only about the money. Stripped off profits that was created by his predecessors. Destroyed the company's reputation. People who had been with the company for 20 years were bullied out of the company. Now it's a failing company. Sad but a fitting legacy for a weak and greedy little man.

Dang, I came here for instructions.

I don't think Manson was a CIA asset. When Manson was in jail years before the Tate-LaBianca murders. He befriended a fellow inmate who was a high ranking member of Scientology. Apparently, Manson learned brainwashing techniques and how to form his own cult of personality from him, and this insight along with his natural charisma helped him form his little cult.

The 80's seem to be where America went wrong.......

He was the business version of Ronald Reagan. They both planted seeds of destruction that are still ruining the country today. Both looked up to by their acolytes as heroes to be worshipped.

Skoda chłopa. Kiczownik ale nie mniej człowiek.

Goodness. Thomas Edison would be rolling in his grave. This guy’s evil influence has possibly put us on the downward spiral of Western civilisation. Is it possible to come back from this?

Jack Welch was a fraud. His idea of "ranking" employees and then forced firing the "bottom" 10% every year was the most absurd business advice ever given. The problem was compounded by the fact that incompetent leaders and HR people in other companies tried to copy this practice, rather than use sound management judgement, which created internal fighting, protectionism, and chaos.

It all crashed post Jack Welch. He was ruthless but Wall Street loved him. Employees he didn't layoff loved him because their 401K's did so well. I hear no one complain about paying for stadiums so athletes can make millions off the poor tax payer.

KZbinr making up a populist narrative about a subject way beyond his understanding.

Nobody worships him, a lot of people fear him. He has ruined Boeing, so I despise him, not worship him.

Psychopath for sure.

Welch "spearheading the electrical revolution" is yer avvidge normul KZbin BS. If there was such a thing as any electrical revolution, it was in maybe the 1880's, when they brought in the electric tram to replace, or at least supplement, the horse. If there was any revolution in the years 1981~2001, it was surely the rise of China -- which, uh, no, Jack Welch didn't do.

Every boomer CEO wants to be him and they are scum by proxy

Six Sigma is evil.

Biden Crime Family ~ Dems they play you Fools!!

How can Jerk Welch be so great if his company TOTALLY took a pass the most profitable industrial revolution in history, the IT hardware, software, and services revolution, which occurred during his tenure at the firm....a firm named General ELECTRIC by the way. He focused on financial engineering and trickery as well as massive downsizing instead of innovation. What a shortsighted, corner cutting loser.

He did his job. Full stop. His job was to give the company owners (share holders) money aka dividends. If it wasnt him, it would have been someone else. Js

What a bastard

The sad truth is after a time what ever company takes his ideas on. when they hit that tailspin its almost impossible to get out of it look at Honda as one example. They got rid of RD and sent all of it to China

Need to do a better read on copy writing. When you write literally you’ll read literally. And sometimes what’s written doesn’t sound right.

He saved GE. You are a dope.

Neutron Jack says "Rank and Yank"! Adding shareholder value baby, yeah!

Ah yes, the Reagan Years which Americans remember so fondly! SMH Overall, a good look at Welch's reign and management "style". The only thing you might have overlooked was the NABET strike at NBC back in '87!

I worked for a GE startup for a few years. The beaurcracy of GE was so top heavy and difficult, GE was its own worst enemy.

America must create a corporate “museum” with the great entrepreneurs as well as these corporate vultures who have destroyed the middle class and killed the American dream. He and the Republican Party of the 1980’s whom encouraged globalization. The Midwest saw the # of factories get shipped overseas by the hundreds.

America must recognize these guys not only as corporate vultures but more like killers of the American dream.

If the definition of success is to make a certain group of people wealthy while killing the middle class, GE & Welsh were mega successful.
