Sam, the department manager played by Kevin Spacey, is a 34-year-old employee. His strength is not only reflected in his rich experience, but also in the company's various unspeakable dirty secrets. It is reflected in the fact that the company cannot easily fire him, and it has to tempt him with a high salary. In addition, he has a unique secret skill that will convince employees to do things they don't want to do. This skill is not possessed by everyone. Sam, who has these advantages, even dares to contradict BOSS. In essence, I think he wants to keep the company, and he wants to keep the company's reputation, because keeping the company also keeps his job and job. But if you don't execute the big boss's order, what will be the result? I guess the big boss will be removed by the board of directors or shareholders, because in advance, that is, a year ago, he and several other company executives have made it clear that the company's business is very risky, but the greedy boss will not care. BOSS must be accountable to the board of directors and make money for shareholders. He must protect his position or personal interests. He will not care whether he sells gold or junk. Even if it is junk, he only needs to make money. The one who went bankrupt because of buying junk You can only blame yourself for your lack of vision, and no one is forcing you with a gun, right? Sam originally wanted to resist, but he finally gave in, made a decision that went against his original intention, and obeyed the boss's instructions. In fact, he wanted to listen to the boss's words in exchange for the boss's wish to stop firing employees. But in the end, the boss fired some of the employees after Sam completed the set goal. Sam was very angry when he got the news. Sam wanted to use his resignation as a final struggle, but in the end he gave in. He said: I decided to stay, not because of other reasons. Yes, because I need money, and after all these years, I still need money. In fact, this is also testing the BOSS's trust in him.
More tragic is the analyst Sarah, played by Demi Moore, who was fired as a scapegoat. Although she also once advised the boss about the risk of bonds, but was eventually fired, she was not as lucky or as strong as Sam. I don’t think Sarah is wronged at all. As an analyst, she should have predicted that the risk has reached an uncontrollable level. Imagine if she calculated the risk value from the simulation data and informed the upper management, I think she would not be She was fired, perhaps because she was too tired to deal with infighting, and ignoring business risks led to her own tragedy.
