Darth Vader: “You are in command now, Admiral Plett”

Plett: (nervously) “Thank you, Lord Vader”

Trouble? No, but they’ll raise the compensation to compensate for risk, which will only attract greedier more sadistic candidates.

Or…

They’ll hire a woman to clean up the mess (possibly at reduced compensation), because that’s the virtue signaling what corporations do when they are in a tight spot. Then, once she has turned things back around, they’ll swap a man back in and give him a bonus for all her hard work.

They should make a whistleblower the ceo so they can have plausible deniability when the ceo is murdered

They are referencing the “coincidental” Boeing whistleblower deaths this year. If a whistleblower was made CEO and subsequently murdered, then being the CEO of a hated corporation is now a plausible reason that could mask that of being a whistleblower.

Countries have dead leaders that get replaced all the time, what makes corporations replacing CEOs any different?

I’ll take the job. But, fair warning, a lot of people will receive free healthcare.

Yea… That is what is the most funny. A CEO that knows how to play his cards could easily turn the system around and still have a profit… Like of 30% instead of 98%…

I would, then I’d just shitpost on LinkedIn about not doing evil things until they fire me for not being evil.

Golden parachute here I come. Honestly, this was on them, they clearly don’t do enough background checks.

I love the idea of somehow becoming CEO of such a company, then working tirelessly to make it honest and transparent and good for both employees and customers.

Of course they’d never hire me, even if I was qualified.
