I didn't flesh this out enough in the original post, but the CEO isn't actually dismissing it casually. He actually said this is really serious and said he thinks we should address transparently sooner than later. It's more that he's leaving it to me to figure out the right way to approach it. On the one hand, I appreciate him giving me some time/space to figure out how I'd like to approach it. On the other hand, I feel he's kind of shirking his responsibility and pitching it of to me.
