If you're professional about it (be factual, straightforward, and don't do a burn-the-world email blast), I wouldn't assume this to be true. Sometimes companies simply make bad high-level hires and are happy about exposing and terminating them.
Or sometimes not. But the vast majority of CEOs want to know when their direct reports are lying to them and would be happy about this outreach.
- zwerdlds 3y agoHow do you even TRUST the leadership and that point? I've been in this situation before, and the ideas in my head are basically paranoia. How do I trust that my manager isn't going to throw me under the bus in the next project? How would I EVEN KNOW?

This shows even more worrying imbecils as his managers. He should leave now!
- neilv 3y agoI've heard of that happening. An engineer somehow realized that top leadership wasn't getting an accurate story about the state of a bet-the-company engineering project, so the engineer went over the head of the VP (I don't know to whom). Turned out that upper leadership felt the VP had been lying to the board. Presumably because of where that left the business, the majority of employees were hit by a series of layoffs, but the engineer who'd blown the whistle to execs was still there, one of the last people, presumably very trusted/favored. Though I've heard a lot more stories of the little people being considered disposable, and occasionally kill-the-messenger. :)
