Taking a contrarian position of something that I strongly believed to be a joke taken too seriously at a place faraway from the work.
However, it was at a public place. And unquestionably so.
As I recall, nearly all CEOs have a “labor” contract which have onerous clauses that stipulates “public behavior”.
And it goes by many names:
- Behavior Rules
- Morality Clause
- Employee Conduct
- Standard of Behavior
And the one that was probably broken is the part about making other top-level CxOs and its company looking bad.
This is why being a leader is a lonely place (at least for me).
