The Silent Voice may be right

['Still noting from Monday]

Just because business and life are so screw up tight, you've gotta give The Silent Voice Veep his due: he may be right.

The Cube has noted that The Silent Voice is not unintelligent, untalented or unindustrious. Just like you and me. (Because we are all those things and more, aren't we?, we backbones of business.)

When there is an issue to be considered, the Silent Voice Veep, bully that he may be, has ideas. When there is a problem to be addressed, he has solutions.

And he smiles. He encourages. He drinks with The Team once a quarter on a tab he pays for. He never says "My way or the highway."

He doesn't need to. That is the genius of "silence": it's his way or you ain't...here.

It's his idea or you don't...talk.

It's The Silent Voice Veep's solution - right or wrong - or you're...gone.

See all the empty management seats, unfilled, inviting.

Some things is.

But...

The Silent Voice may be right...
