Nice postering, but CEOs are not ideas guys, this likely wasn't even his brain child. The people responsible are still likely there and will continue to push the company in the wrong direction.
Whether or not it was his idea is irrelevant, he's the one who approved it.

If I hadn't seen this play out so many times before the fall guy theory might seem crazy, but it's totally plausible if he's only been there a short time, but I thought he said in his message he'd been there 10 years?
