hes only sorry he was caught voicing his real beliefs

I've been irritated since around 1979 when we stopped being "personnel" and became "human resources". It's always puzzled me that there was no massive backlash to that.

Bank PR Team Issues Statement Claiming Boss is Sorry. Boss's Golf Game Uninterrupted.

For generations, we were taught to value the opinions of the wealthy. Now we know for the vast majority of billionaires, their extreme wealth is mostly due to chance, not inherent ability, or even worse is actually evidence of their lack of character. The illusion has fallen away. They are the last people we should seek advice from on living a moral life. We should punish them for the act of hoarding immoral amounts of wealth to themselves. I am encouraged because this viewpoint seems to be spreading, and even more encouraged because I think they're scared. They should be scared.

Bank boss sorry after being called out for describing workers as lower value human capital

FTFY

He thinks of you as "lower value" so do you think he has any reservations about lying to you?

This guy provides zero value to society. He steals value created by others and claims it for himself. He's on the list.

I’ve never understood the purpose of forcing executives to apologize.

He said exactly what he meant, to a group of investors who largely feel positively about his message.

A forced apology is condescending and meaningless, and therefore I cannot see how it improves optics in any way.

Typical CEO and then you wonder why societies fall apart.

The guy Bill Winters boasts a CBE, its on his workpage profile, and wiki.

Winters received a CBE in the 2013 Birthday Honours for services to the Economy and UK Financial Services Industry.

FIGHT BACK

It could be worth emailing the hounours department 📢 📢 📢 honours@cabinetoffice.gov.uk 📢 📢 📢 to request he is stripped of his order, arguing he brings the honours system in disrepute.

Standing for Commander of the Order of the British Empire, CBE is the highest ranking Order of the British Empire level (excluding a knighthood/damehood), followed by OBE and then MBE.

An individual may be appointed a CBE for having a prominent role at national level, or a leading role at regional level. The honour may also be conferred for a distinguished and innovative contribution to any area.

His statement stains the CBE values because it devalues people, it prioritises technology over employee welfare, undermines responsible leadership, and conflicts with the public‑service and ethical expectations associated with the honour. -

Let them know. its not a big thing but its something us plebs can do

The only people here conflating economic value with human worth are the people who are outraged. An easily automated employee isn't of high value to a company, like no shit.

“Babe! A new slur just dropped!”

Wow. Members of the first estate keep letting slip publicly who they really are and how they really feel.

Eventually, the third estate might get motivated to do something serious about it. Something terrible.

I am very sorry ^that I got caught^

Make the guillotine great again

No he isn't.

This skinsuit and whatever is inside it are the main reason countries are failing, we have robots without any capacity for humanity in positions to direct our lives, not just in banks, politics, healthcare, security and none of them care about us, we're nothing to them, barely accepted as an annoyance that they have to pay.

The biggest clue was when they started referring to us as a "resource". We're just another input on their spreadsheet.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. The only job that I am 100% certain could be successfully offloaded onto an AI is CEO.
