Yes, that really is the case.
You're American, are you? The country where CEOs either do their job or get a golden handshake, as the cliché has it. In what sense do they have to do their job?
Life in Scandinavia is different from the US. There are expectations you have to live up to, and those you have to live up to, but they're not everything. Some expectations are less serious.

Failure to deliver parcels to Tesla won't leave any Swedish postal workers on the street. A tut-tut from the manager, yes, serious consequences no. If the manager has read Tesla's recent job posting for a lobbyist to help subvert Swedish democracy, the tut-tut may well be delivered with a smile and a wink.

I always thought that the right to strike makes sense if both sides need to invest in the struggle- if one of the parties can inflict damage on the other with no cost for itself, what prevents it from advancing completely unreasonable demands? "Their innate reasonableness and common sense" is not a satisfying answer, as any power that can be abused will eventually be abused.
