Four years as CEO of a company like Boeing, that is laughable. It's a shame they didn't cut off his ear that would have been better for the shareholders.

Back in the day, when General Electric was a Top 5 company, I was hired out of college into their management training program.

One of the questions I asked the campus interviewer was, ~why does GE recruit management candidates from Engineering schools?~

The response was, ~Engineers are trained to look at the facts of the situation and act according to goals.~

But until the end of 2024, party on. Absolutely predictable and typical of corporate culture. What a whoosh of a whiff of pure, unadulterated booshee capitalism.
