    The CEO is still the top-paid employee, who has a golden parachute in their contract, and will happily fuck over as many employees and lives as needed to make the bottom line look good. And they can influence a lot.

    Example, if you kill one, Anthem BlueCross BlueShield will revert to the Anesthesia Policy they had planned. So they do have some impact.

      I think youre actually agreeing in a round about way. The ceo is beholden to the shareholders who just want the stock price to go up. You have to pay a ceo that much money because they see the books, they see the profit, they have a hard job to do selling out their own employees. How much does your soul cost? Well, for some ceos its 20 million. Theyre the train conductor running the train down the rails of profit over people.
