I don't know thei particular situation, but it can be many things. The executive might have a lare degree of congnitive disonnance (still fully beliving in the things they tell their employees in the moment).

And, heck, I think many are fully transparent but some employees just turn a deaf ear to certain things in order to maintain some variety of identity.
