  If you have ever been to any major SLT or higher meeting, the phrases “This is the first time I am hearing about that” or “That’s not what was reported to me” come up so much that I’m amazed the meetings even finish on time. Plausible deniability of the name of the game.

    I said “I sent a video recording of this a month ago and received confirmation. Do you not have that?” and got back “I never got that.”

    “Alright, got it. Thankfully it’s not my problem anymore but you know where yours is.” and left it at that.

      I think you misunderstood my meaning. They know. They’ve known all along. They simply think that saying they don’t know and throwing everyone below them under the bus is fine because it’s accepted in the business culture here. The CEO is always right because even when they aren’t, bonus still gets deposited.

  Better yet, replace them with ai. Don’t need to pay someone 300x of an average workers wage just to take bad decisions
