Mo & Mo en Route – Ballast

Ballast

One of the meanings for ballast is, “anything that gives mental or moral stability”. This is hard to measure, but when lost the cost is immeasurable.

What’s that? The corporate balloon… they’re dropping ballast. Ballast with parachutes? I mean employees… > The company is trying to stay aloft. Those are skimpy parachutes. Well, there might be some rough landings… But fear not, the company gives the biggest parachutes to those with the biggest salaries. Seems counterintuitive? Yeah. - Ouch!-OOO!-Ugh!-Thud! How do they keep from going down? Well, we do know the problem isn’t a lack of hot air. No, no, not the problem. - Go-team-go! Cut! Cut-back, Buy back, Re-org, Spin-off… Still sinking! What now? Flap, flap your arms! Need more resources! Too late.
