Your comment focuses solely on company profits. I don’t care about company profits. I do care about HR or company policy policing things they should not be allowed to police.
HR doesn’t have the power to oust the CEO, the board does. This isn’t about HR at all.
Correct. Incredible how many people believe HR is the law. And seem to boot lick HR like they are the great enlightened justice in the world.
Its rather startling that you read my comment and saw a priority on "profits" rather than judgement, trust, and liability.
A leader who can be blackmailed or is untrustworthy is compromised in their role. Profit, nonprofit, government: it does not matter.
That is perhaps why affairs and lack of candor are both (usually) bars to obtaining a clearance.
