Who writes their guidelines? How are they measured and rewarded? The answer is senior management. And who hires senior management?  Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Douglas Buckland + 6,308 August 19, 2019 So you are holding the CEO accountable for each and every action by senior management? I think that is overly simplistic and childish. Are you saying that the CEO, and only the CEO, has any input in selecting the senior management? That said, are you saying that, for example, the vice president of marketing or the senior vice president of engineering has the time or inclination to get involved in the business of the human resources department? You are making assumptions and generalizations that can not possibly be justified. Are you trying to tell me that the CEO of DOW Chemical is responsible for the product Roundup being carcinogenic? Is the CEO of BP responsible for the Deepwater Horizon incident even though the rig was owned and operated by Transocean. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Are you trying to tell me that IOCs can not influence the behaviour of their subbies? Seriously? ---------------------------- All I am saying is that many corporations reward results and tunr a blind eye to how they are achieved. This goes for the oil industry as well. Does that make a CEO solely responsible? No. However, to paraphrase it does NOT exempt him or her, either. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What do you say when a President wants to eliminate citizens from certain countries to visit or immigrate? Why not ask for background checks for any visitor who visits or immigrates. Fairness should be common sense. Trump begs by his rhetoric to be labeled and unfortunately has a base of like minded supporters who love to play victim. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
