I do not consider the CEO knowing the janitor’s name or cleaning toilets a “positive thing”. It is a vacuous action explicitly made for virtue signaling. No CEO ever quietly plunges toilets and actually thinks this is helping him stay in touch with the business. Not knowing the janitor’s name != not knowing your employees’ name; this is false equivalency. The janitor is not part of your employment or business. “Rolling your sleeves” in a 50 person warehouse might look like keeping up with your forklift skills to evaluate new equipment or whatever, not cleaning the toilets.
