Illustrated five-tier corporate pyramid cake. Top: 'The Shareholder', a fat man with cigar and martini lounging on a moneybag labeled PASSIVE INCOME. Below: 'C-Suite', laughing executives toasting champagne. Below: 'Consultants', grinning men in suits pointing at charts saying DISRUPT, LEVERAGE, ALIGN, TRANSFORMATION. Below: 'Middle-Management', haggard managers yelling and waving rulers at METRICS checklists. Bottom: 'Individual Contributors', exhausted workers hunched over laptops with sticky notes saying WHEN THIS DUE and WILL WORK FOR COFFEE.
