No offense, but this doesn’t read as a situation you should feel vindicated about. Engineering management is a complicated beast that the average junior dev doesn’t see all the dimensions, let alone the nuances of. Town hall meeting or not, the “CEO of a conglomerate” probably doesn’t want an admittedly inarticulate opinion on what project management style not to use, especially without a clear alternative being suggested.

I don't, and my coworkers laughed at me when I relayed that conversation to them, I feel vindicated the issue around requirements gathering, and the effect that has on development, isn't unique to my company.
