Sorry I engineered a system that extracts wealth from the poorest and filters it to the wealthiest in a self-reinforcing cycle to emiserate everyone outside my peer group.

Oops-i-doodle! My bad.

A lot of people, not just CEOs, should apologize more for their screw-ups. CEOs obviously should too, but we have a real problem in this world where people think asking for forgiveness is showing weakness.

That would be admitting to a wrongdoing, and would get them into trouble. But also, they don’t see it as wrong, they see it as “business”

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 12 points 2 weeks ago

Which is another problem that is not just a CEO problem (although it is a major CEO problem)- people thinking it's okay to regularly do bad things because they're doing them for a good reason.

The ends always justify the means, if the end is to enrich yourself.

Canada thanks you for your service.

This can unfortunately be due to poor work culture a lot, where anyone admitting fault is saddled with all the blame and consequences. A great way to start correcting that is to lead by example from the top, though. Executives can't be surprised if this culture develops if they're always sidestepping accountability.

So they don’t get shot?

Corporate never apologies because corporate never doesn't anything wrong.

Just look at the big CEO of UHC video... Real Brave, must be hiding out in UK lol

[-] PlexSheep@infosec.pub 10 points 2 weeks ago

I thought those were reserved for pedos

[-] halykthered@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 weeks ago

There's probably enough of an overlap.

[-] _haha_oh_wow_@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 weeks ago

Careful or the lemmy.world admins might ban you!

[-] irotsoma@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

Because if they admit a mistake, his will they get the next job with all those billionaire CEOs out there who have never made a mistake? /s
