    That’s the entire reason these people get paid so much. They’re the representatives of the corporation. They’re the ones who get subpoenaed and jailed if the company fucks up!!

      That sounds terrible! What if we blamed random bits of middle management instead and got rich for no risk?

      They do? I’m hard-pressed to think of a time when a CEO was jailed when their company fucked up. Union Carbide (now DOW) has barely even paid restitution for Bhopal yet. Certainly nobody in the senior executive was held to account.
