      If you have ever been to any major SLT or higher meeting, the phrases “This is the first time I am hearing about that” or “That’s not what was reported to me” come up so much that I’m amazed the meetings even finish on time. Plausible deniability of the name of the game.

        I said “I sent a video recording of this a month ago and received confirmation. Do you not have that?” and got back “I never got that.”

The CEO is always right because even when they aren’t, bonus still gets deposited.
