No I think we're really missing each other somehow... Board members don't usually work at the company. They don't have Workplace accounts, or departments. The headline that this 'asserts control' is click-bait.
- alwayseasy 6y agoIt really is an article about board politics. It's a different kind of game where control isn't only about shares in the company but also about controlled assets and influence outside the company. In Facebook's case, Zuck already has control of the company but "asserts control" through strategic moves at the board level by "firing" Hastings and Bowles (who both disagreed with his fumbling on political ads). Outside the company he "asserts control" thanks to his increased acrimony towards regulators while appeasing the Trump circle. A board member who goes after Zuckerberg not only risks getting fired from the board but also getting heat from the White House. This is a very unusual situation for a company in a democracy and in the tech sector.
- bryan_w 6y agoIt's really weird how all these unrelated accounts keep giving gfosco non-seqitor answers to his responses in this thread, just pointing that out.
