LVM reveals revolutionary method: how to avoid competition — simply fire and immediately rehire

While the wind blows so hard on Liepāja beach that you need a jacket even in summer, completely different winds are blowing in the LVM office — reorganization winds that transform former board members into directors faster than Baltic Sea waves transform sandcastles.

The company has discovered a revolutionary HR strategy: why hold a competition when you can simply say "you're fired" and immediately add "but now you're a director"? As a result, the company now employs 11 directors, which is more than some countries have ministers. "We have more directors than Liepāja has tram lines," comments local forester Pēteris.

Employees naturally have questions about this system, but management explains that it's all for the sake of profit — profits have increased by 36.1%. "If we can appoint 11 directors without competition and profits are growing, then maybe we need another 11," philosophically muses one LVM employee.

Meanwhile, the trade unions — yes, there are two, because one was apparently not enough — are trying to figure out whether such director multiplication is natural or if specialist consultation is needed. The State Labor Inspectorate is already calling for compliance with the law, but who knows — maybe soon inspectors will have their own directors too.
