Good Lord, considering all the sorry spectacle of Corporate America in the news right now, if I were a corporate compliance officer, I’d probably want to quit and walk away from the business too.
That was my recurring thought all weekend, as I read the New York Times’ damning portrait of corruption and bribery at Walmart. Or as I read the latest efforts to salvage the ship at Best Buy, where the CEO just resigned over still-undisclosed misconduct with a female employee. Or as I read about the shenanigans at Cheasapeake Energy (sweetheart deals on energy exploration for the CEO) or Infosys (possibly fraudulent paperwork to bring Indian nationals to work in the United States illegally), or any other number of businesses behaving badly these days.
