Former CEO seems to think that the problems are spiritual

2 comments

Often when worldly things fail, people turn to spirituality for guidance.

I don't think the former CEO thinks that is a spiritual problem, I think he just feels like there is nothing else that he could do.

Sign of a massive process failure in and of itself, no? If the shareholders want to pay someone to pray there are plenty of cheap priests available. He's just manifestly not doing his job.
I don't know if you missed the news but the board removed him and he retired[1] about a week before this tweet.

This has to be a parody account.
He’s followed by @IntelBusiness, Elon Musk, Venture Beat, and many other notables.

I doubt it’s a parody.
