This trope is very near the top of my list of things that I wish we could get rid of in conversation. It's a kind of reversal that I suppose is born of frustration rather than being a genuine holistic opinion, but using words like "naive" creates the impression that you would rather criticize people for wanting better behavior from executives than criticize executives for misbehaving. That's a pretty hideous position, and I don't think it's the position you're actually trying to take.
