    Actually let’s even take it one step further.

    Start harassing the shareholders. Start harassing the boards.

      Lemmy seems to think CEOs are in charge of all the things. Yeah, no. They answer to the board of directors, and the board will fire their happy ass if they don’t bring in the $$$. They’ll also fire them for not obeying orders.

      Take Pao from reddit. They hired her to make unpopular decisions and take the heat. Kicked her to the curb with the quickness once she acted as ordered.

      This is why it’s sane that CEOs demand a “golden parachute” in their contract. “OK. You can order me to do some fucked up shit and then fire me for doing what you asked? Imma need a fat check at the end.” LOL, you’d be a fool to not contract that.
