A: Absolutely. In fact, most (regular) people, don't even notice. Think about it. When was the last time your CEO went with you to the food court for lunch? Did she come to movie night when you rented Army of Darkness? Of course not... you're just a headcount. That would be like the chicken farmer asking the chickens over for brunch. It gets messy if it gets personal.
The fact is, many CEO's only associate with board members and other C-Level Executives. outsourCEO™ recommends replacing the other C-Levels at the same time for the most seamless transition. As for the board members, well trust us, they won't care if 'Chainsaw Chuck' suddenly has a Croatian accent... they're saving a ton of money!
Q: Won't I be exposing my company to a huge fiscal risk by replacing my CEO with a contractor?
A: Heavens no! Your managers have been telling you for years that the people replacing you and your friends at the plant are conscientious, hard working folks who value the fraction of your salary they're getting so much that they'll work twice as hard as you ever did. And we both know it's true, just not fair. outsourCEO™ CEOs are mostly honest, hard working folks looking for an opportunity.
However, in the event your outsourCEO™ slipped past our rigourous screening process, remember, there's no way someone making on average $20k to $40k USD per year has the money to lawyer up like someone making $42.6m USD does. Like the rest of us, outsourCEOs™ just can't AFFORD to be dishonest!
Q: What happens to the CEOs whose positions are 'right-sized'?
A: Just like the rest of us when this happens, they'll go home, annoy the crap out of their spouse for a month or two while they look for another opportunity to 'add value,' and then either:
Take another executive position.
Get hooked on Everquest II.
Write a book.
Open a coffee shop.
Q: You do realize you're mostly talking about offshoring as opposed to outsourcing, correct?
A: Of course we do. But adding an O to the end of offshore for a domain name made us think of a cookie, and there was no way we were going to take on a mega-cookie company over the name offshoreO.
