CEO doesn’t make decisions about what product lines to discontinue. He didn’t create the Australia day thing.
The CEO is ultimately responsible for every decision they make. He absolutely had a say in it and he clearly thought it was a good idea, and he thought his messaging was good.
Of course you fire the CEO before the enquiry, so you can divert blame during the enquiry. “Oh yeah maybe we did some bad stuff but it’s all fixed now”.
Nope, you wait until after the enquiry so you can blame them at the end and say "we'll take action by firing the ceo". What if the enquiry comes up with nothing bad and you've already fired your CEO? lol
Woolworths is not “finding out”.
Again - CEO gone. Enormous public backlash. This whole thing has even further pushed for calls for inquiries and change.
Just as it was a month ago, any assertion that Woolworth has made a mistake in discontinuing Australia day merch is just absurd.
Bet the CEO doesn't think that. Bet the people that pushed him to retirement don't think that. They are a supermarket, not a politician. Keep your shitty politics out of it and sell stuff that people want to buy. Note they never said it didn't sell, they just said there had been a "gradual decline in sales". The best selling product on earth can have a gradual decline in sales but still sell well.
Frankly, I’m genuinely surprised you’re still fretting about it.
Same with you.
Private Internet Access. Been using it for probably 10 years at this point, never had a single issue. Their "no logging" claim has been tested successfully in court.
