The people deserve transparency, unlike how Meta escaped their dirty laundry being aired in the teen harm settlement. I'm disappointed in our politicians for choosing to settle so easily, like they were bought off by a billionaire. If we wish for this behavior to end, we should see naming and shaming as a good thing, a step in the right direction. Real, commensurate consequences need to happen for these people as well.

In other words, they require the company to name scapegoats who will be fired for the decisions made by top management.

There is no I in team. The entire org should should have their pay docked because that’s how teamwork works.
