I think it can be both. It can be a single guy who is responsible for the switch being deliberately misleading through acts and omissions. Then it can be the chain of command above and around him as well. To have GM yesterday fire 15 people - including many senior execs - and then today accuse them of copping out and finding a fall guy and planting the media story doesn't make a lot of sense. It's possible one of the execs who was fired leaked this if it was in fact leaked/planted.
- TheSpiceIsLife 12y agoAll of the above, always. I highly doubt the legal / regulatory staff and the HR and PR staff in large corporations are stupid, you can bet they've covered every angle. It's the scapegoat (the single engineer), it's the staff around him, it's the intentionally leaked email, it's the exec who's a plant in the fired group, who will gave a job next week with some other auto manufacturer. Is there a term 'Public Relations Theatre'? If not, I coin it now. Everyone's got everyone else's back, and hands in each others pockets. Maybe someone will appear to take the fall, but behind the scenes that person will be looked after. Call me cynical, or maybe realistic?
