THE PYRAMID EFFECT

I attended a training session recently and we were reviewing the hierarchy of an organization and it dawned on me that the unemployment situation will continue to worsen. Using the pyramid as a means of demonstration, as you go up the ladder, opportunity and rate of upward movement reduces, number of position available also diminishes as you move up. Imagine a situation where 100 people were recruited on the same and only one can rise to become the Managing Director (which is the highest point for an employee) at any particular point in time. The question then is “what happened to the remaining 99?” This is outside those that are unemployed.
