If retention and recruitment are impacted, then working hours become longer. If company values are enforced internally but publicly the CEO is acting against those values, then it becomes harder to understand what someone might be disciplined for. The connections are, imo, there.

You can 7 degrees of Kevin Bacon anything to make "connections" like that
Then more directly, the letter specifically called out unequal enforcement of company policy. That's direct.
Company policy does not apply to the owner of the company.
Commerce Clause vibes

This statement is false in the general case. If the contract says 40 hours, I'm leaving after 40 hours, and if you want me to stay longer I better have a large share of the company. Your inefficiencies as a manager are not my problem as an employee, unless I'm also a shareholder.
