- 0des 5y agoWith the way outrage flows unchecked these days can you blame them? Someone can be a C-level one day and the focus of bad press the next day, and the entire world holds their brand accountable. Everyone has a non-binding, non-committal relationship to their employer, and the employer is all too happy to cut-and-run to save face by the plausible ability to say "not our guy", or "this is just a support tech". It's the 2022 form of "Your call is important to us, sit tight and someone will be with you shortly." It is a viable strategy straight out of the 2022 playbook because it works to "placate and wait" while the news cycle moves on to the next scandal-du-jour.
