This article is a goddamned joke. The poor chief executives! What in the fuck is this.
They signaling to shareholders that this happens all the time, online drama does not matter.
Haha that's what I took away too!
Like, "I know we're all worried. But I promise, we'll have a new CEO in a few days and nobody is going to lose money."
I did not read NYT article but I bet that's the msg'ing to their core audience here while proletariat is doing a circle jerk, well deserved though. They rarely get a W.
Does the NYT think this was attempt to bring down the company. Are they stupid?
NYT got paid to run PR for the corpo. They need to project that they are in control. One dead officer doesn't change anything from money making perspective
Nyr is writing what they were told to write herr
Good thing they announced this to the world, lol. Like we care. I know investors "care" and would hate for it to actually bring down the company but Jesus, forest through the trees.
They got away for a century with narrative weaving tactics... Things are finally appear to be changing tho
Fuk em
If you're going to quote that you should quote the rest of it:
They're not begging for sympathy, they go on to talk about the effect this act will have on the health insurance companies, which is what we all want to see.
They'll beef up their security and continue with their horrific practices. No greedy bastards will change anything that affects their bottom line.
I think you're right. I was imagining what a meeting of executives would be like in the wake of this, and I can just see them continuing to follow the almighty dollar, because that is their one true incentive that all others lead to. Anybody who proposed taking a hit to revenue to be more moral would be fired by the board.
The rest of it doesn't change anything.
It does though.
They're used to CEOs dying. They're not used to CEOs being murdered because of the actions of their companies.
