It doesn't surprise me that this comes straight from the top leadership. I worked in varies companies (maybe too many). But there was 1 things that was always clear: the company culture always reflects the top leadership. I also once wanted to change something within a company, and had the support of various other managers. We were all pushing hard for the best of the entire company. But then I learned something: you can't change the top management, and you can't change the top managements opinion. Either accept it, or move on. All of us moved on to other jobs, and the company went bust a few years later. When I read the recent stories about Riot Games, I knew it was trickled down from top management. It always is. They define the company culture more than you would imagine.
