Drug cartels show McDonalds the way

Law enforcement agencies provide an excellent service to the drug supply industry by keeping our organisations lean, cutting away the dead wood. It so rare that they touch any of the Captains of our industry, they simply keep an eye on the foot soldiers and the middle managers, which is great for us.

Continuous workforce assessment costs other industries a fortune, mugs pay for ours out of their taxes. Corporations like McDonalds have in some ways a business model very close to ours, franchises, a product that is arguably not good for your health, sold by the generally low paid mostly to the poor, McDonalds posted losses for the first time ever in recent years and is in retreat in parts of Latin America and the Caribbean. I bet McDonalds executives wish they had those good people from law enforcement weeding out any slackers flipping burgers badly and getting rid of troublesome franchisees.

It is excellent motivator for your workforce to have opportunities for promotion and for those opportunities to be regular. A healthy wave of arrests is an excellent way of freshening up business in a particular area. National Tackling Drugs Week in Britain has brought a wave of showcase arrests and as usual the police are doing our work for us, picking up a couple of idiots driving around with a kilo of product and some personal. In Mexico a recent wave of arrests brought much excitement at the prospect of great opportunities for career progression.

“Some of these top leaders would stay in power forever, if not for the work of the federales and DEA," said one lieutenant, now a colonel in charge of customized smuggling vehicles, speaking through a translator on condition of anonymity. "The arrests provide upward mobility and opportunities for promotions we could not otherwise get against these bullies who run the cartels. Now it's our turn. Tell Mr. Cabrera, gracias."
