> I also expect more out of a CEO. I just don't think that feedback is actually particularly constructive. Your attempts to put any onus on the researcher are actively harmful. No one should point finger at the researchers trying to help. We should all point fingers at the primary person who's able to prevent bad things happening. You haven't once attempted to put any responsibility on the CEO. This is the first time. You asked in another reply if everyone else is being dense; but you're the one blaming the researcher, did you stop to consider if everyone disagrees with you, that maybe you're the problem? edit: > My whole point is that he doesn't actually know what the researcher wants, saw it as a threat, and responded to it as if it were a threat. Yeah, and doing that was gross negligence. There's a reason you're not allowed waive harms arising from gross negligence.
