The article flatly says that this person an executive and that several other executives were charged.
This thread is fulling of people who didn't read a tiny well written article.
- btian 9y agoOliver Schmidt is a low level manager in the Detroit office. Not what would come to people's mind when "executive" is mentioned. But I'm sure VW wants you to think their high level executives are being punished.
- sqeaky 9y agoThe article called him an executive, it might be wrong. If the article is wrong then we should be talking about that (and the other executives that the article claims were charged) and not just presuming things.
- btian 9y agoWhat is an "executive"? If a sales executive considered executive? If a person has 5 reports, is he/she an executive? It's impossible to be wrong to call everyone working in a company "executive", and both VW and DOJ know this.
- alxmdev 9y agoI wouldn't say it's a well written article, it's confusing and ambiguous regarding the sentenced individual's role and position in the company. That makes all the difference between this being a slap on the wrist or a more meaningful reprimand.
- sqeaky 9y agoIt states that several other executives were charged. Even if this one person isn't an executive that one sentence makes it clear it this is more than a slap on the wrists for volkswagon. I suppose it might not well written, but it certainly is concise. This took me about 90 seconds to read in full. That is entirely reasonable to read before posting.
