Urrespective of all the other BS, why was the CEO also president of the board?

The role of the board is to supervise the executives.

"We investigated ourselves and found we did nothing wrong." is a common sentence in America.

Who wouldn't want to supervise themselves?

Damn this CEO is so good, maybe he should get a raise

I see you're CEO material, interested in running Unity?

[–] ipkpjersi@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 year ago

Well how else could he supervise himself?
