Learning basic corporate politics is hard for most people, not for prospective CEOs.
- wpietri 3y agoTrue, but I think that hurts them here. Corporate politics is about fitting into a status hierarchy and working your way up it. You exchange your own identity and concerns for that of the organization, and are rewarded with status and money. A fake CEO like Zhao appeared to want here would be doing exactly the same thing he's been doing on the way up: rolling over for whatever the more powerful person wants. It's just that the stakes have quietly changed, with a sudden downside of "5-10 in a federal prison". As people like Caroline Ellison have recently realized.
