Darth Vader: “You are in command now, Admiral Plett”
Plett: (nervously) “Thank you, Lord Vader”
No, some other psychopath will just demand the company provide 24/7 private security and take the job with a raise. Then (likely he) will just kill more people to pay for it.
Imagine holding the title of “CEO of the healthcare company whose CEO got fucking iced last week”
They literally don’t care. They aren’t like us. They don’t care what working class people think. They don’t care if we suffer. They don’t care if they die. We aren’t worth anything to them beyond what they can extort from us.
“I can hire one half of the working class to kill the other half.”

This statement reflects Gould’s view of exploiting divisions within the labor force to maintain control and suppress labor movements during the Gilded Age. Their attitude since then hasn’t changed, except to become even further entrenched in their apathetic greed.
There were 15 underlings hoping this would happen on a weekly basis for their shot.
No, and they will find ways to screw users more. Corpos are not anyone’s friends.

Not if this was an isolated incident. If it turns out to be something else then maybe.
They’ll just keep a security detail. It won’t even be a consideration. They’ll just do it, and not even care that it happened.
Contrary to popular belief, CEOs aren’t necessary for a company to run, but they do maximize the profits while they’re there
LOL, NO
They’d better do it soon too. The stock has already dipped 10% in two days.
I think the situation is quite the opposite. There is now an opening and I bet several people see this as an opportunity at advancement.
There will always be people who overestimate the rewards and underestimate the risks of an undertaking.
No, someone is jumping for joy at the promotion.
They should make a whistleblower the ceo so they can have plausible deniability when the ceo is murdered
