Well for business models you have CEO (Waternoose), President, Vice President, Manager, Assistant Manager, Directer, Sales Rep, Inspector, Stock Holders, and Lawyers. Then you would have the office workers and janitors.
The scarer's would be booked in the manufacturing set of things. At least in a normal company.

Thank you for that, Malic. ;D ... Anything else? Anyone else? ;D "Stock holder" is not a job. Anyone with enough money can be a stock holder in a company. One of the teachers I used to work with actually is a stock holder in Pixar! Buying stocks is a gamble; if the stock's value goes up, you make money, and if it goes down, you lose. Depending on how much you've invested, if the stock's value crashes, you can lose everything you have. Keep in mind that Monsters, Inc. is a utilities company, just like Con-Edison in NY and Progress Energy Carolinas here where I live. It would have basically the same positions, with the exception of Scarers(though whoever generates MY electric bill each month is apparently a Scarer, too, since my heart nearly stops every time I open that envelope, and I've actually been known to scream a bit upon reading the amount that I owe 'em). I guess the closest thing to Scarers at a Human World electric plant would be the people who are responsible for keeping the generators workings, and at our local electricity plant, that involves nuclear energy. Besides them, there are CEO's, presidents, Vice-president, managers and Assistant managers and Supervisors and assistant Supervisors at various levels, secretaries, receptionists, public-relations, Personel(hiring/firing/recommendations) and Recruiting, docents(tour guides-yes, they give tours), engineers, mechanics & various technicians(and I can't help but think of how much better off, and happier, Randall would have been in one of those positions, where he didn't have to compete against others), first aid/nurses, janitors/custodians, security, postal employees(yes, most large factories have their own out-going, in-coming post office worker), Sales/Advertising, Purchasing(for stuff used INSIDE the factory), Payroll(the most popular of all staff, lol), Benefits(insurance, 401K's, etc.), Employee Training/Education(remember Sheri Flint?), cafeteria staff(cooks, servers, dish washers), an impressive legal team, staff psychologist/guidance counselor, inter-office relations(coordinates things like staff ball games and other recreational activities, and probably supervises the staff country club) and dispatcher, who handles and directs calls for the outside support team. The outside support team would consist of those who respond when there's a power outage, like a storm would cause, or someone's transformer blows up, as well as the maintenance people who take care of the thousands of miles of electric wires, cables and poles. These are the guys in the trucks with the "cherry picker" buckets, as well as inspectors who make their rounds to insure that the equipment is in safe working order. Even though the source of electricity in the Monster World was different from ours(we usually rely on the burning of fossil fuels, like coal, or on hydroelectric energy, or nuclear energy, to generate electricity)they STILL used electricity, so the equipment outside the plant would still have been very familiar to us, only it appeared to have been on a larger and more-bulky scale. They would still have had to contend with trees on power lines, auto crashes that took out utility poles, ice storms, lightning strikes, birds building nests in transformers, squirrels gnawing through wires, individuals stealing power from their neighbors, aging equipment, marking underground cables so construction crews won't hit them-all the things that utility crews in OUR world have to deal with. THEN, you have to have someone who is responsible for the up-keep and repair of all the vehicles in the fleet, who is responsible for keeping them fueled up, and someone who is responsible for the purchase of additional equipment, like trucks, ladders, engine oil(it might run on Scream, but it's still got moving parts that have to be lubed up), tires, etc. THEN, you've got the Board of Directors, who basically oversea all of the above, and who often are elected to their position or appointed, depending on company policy. If it sounds like a lot, it is-and they all have to be paid, which is something to think about next time your utility bill arrives. That money to pay all those people, from the BOD right down to the Assistant to the Assistant Office Managers whose job is to make sure everyone on their floor has enough paper clips and staples, has to come from somewhere. It's a very complex state of affairs, running, maintaining and organizing a large utilities company, with many stake-holders. pitbulllady |

Stock holders do play a big part in companies though. If one person owns 51% of a companies stock they can ransom themselves to be the CEO. With that much stock you can dissolve the company.

Well, yeah, they DO-but so do customers, shipping companies like FedX, and a whole bunch of other people. But they're still not employees; that's not a job. And, as you pointed out, stock holders can be "hostile", and buy stock for no other reason than to control and/or dissolve a company, simply to settle a score, or to control the people who depend on those companies. THAT is something that James P. Sullivan had better keep in mind, since surely Mr. Waternoose has friends in high places that would do just that for him, to get back at Sulley. Even in jail, people of Waternoose's financial and political stature can wield immense power and control. pitbulllady |

Pixar could probably use that as the plot idea. It would make sense.

I was sipping coffee when I read that sentence. Now that coffee is sprayed all over my keyboard, and some of it is dribbling down my chin. *grabs a box of Kleenex* XD

I don't know if this is part of Monsters Inc or part of one of the other Scaring companies like FearCo, but in the extras on the DVD, about twenty odd monsters were all queued up in front of a desk with plastic wings and tutus... for the position of TOOTH FAIRY.
