This is a random thought, I'm not sure where this can or should go, but this article made me think of universal healthcare. One of the arguments for a single-payer is that it takes the burden of understanding healthcare and health insurance issues from employers.
One of the general issues with corporate structure is that corporations are machines that are to prioritize profits above all else, hence, their turning a blind eye to his issues. This is because a CEO isn't just an administrator for a money making organization, but is a caretaker of culture, ethics, and morality of a company. Work is so much a part of our lives that a person in a supervisor position over us actually has a lot of power in other aspects of our lives: food, shelter, healthcare, future work opportunities, even access to a social life given our work centered culture; and this gives them power to leverage it to hurt others.
This isn't to alleviate any of his guilt, but somewhere in here is a larger comment on our culture and how many jobs should not be the "best welfare program" (or shelter program, or food program, or social program, or networking program, or etc.) that our lives should not be dominated by work only.
