CEO makes clueless speech at required company event to underpaid employees: 'I just can't fathom the blatant vanity'

Who doesn't love to watch a clueless CEO make his own bed? This dude was severely underpaying his employees, so much so that the Redditor who recounted this story explained how little money she had to feed her kids that week. That's the only real reason she made the hour-long journey to a "required" company event in order to get free food for her husband and kids.

Unfortunately for her and for all of her coworkers, the second half of that event was monopolized by a speech from their CEO about how great he and his family are doing. There was even trivia about the details of his family and prizes were given out to employees who knew him best. Talk about the entitlement and audacity! To give that kind of narcissistic speech in front of your employees when they are barely making ends meet is justification for his resignation, in our opinion.
