    Nope, its not really that I disagree with you all that much. Private businesses get to male their own rules to a larger extent than public entities is all.

      Not true. Private companies must abide to government regulations, so they don’t get to make their own rules willy nilly, otherwise many of them would do really nasty stuff that harms people in the name of profits.

      Ever heard of powder milk companies adding cardboard to fornula to keep costs down? Companies dumping toxic shit in rivers? Companies paying militias to overthrow democratic governments so they can sell more bananas? Pharma companies jacking up prices to life saving drugs? They don’t have the right to do all this just because it’s in some internal employee handbook.

      But back to the original point, there have been cases in which company leaders making questionable decisions because they’re not right in the head. So I understand OPs sentiment.
