    If a potential candidate doesn’t understand why there’s a strong vetting process then then don’t understand the changing paradigm of human communication. Teaching that is an unacceptable liability. The OpSec is on point. Great work. And, thank you for everything, including tolerance of those that don’t yet understand why.

      You don’t get people with 5 years of experience if no one is willing to give you experience.

        You don’t start a career as a CEO.

        Radicals don’t often recruit in public.

        Seek and ye shall find.

          You don’t start a career as a CEO.

          But they often start as “executives” which is a huge problem.

          Very few modern CEOs have ever actually worked a day in their lives. They move around between various different industries with no knowledge of what’s important.

          Their only concern is making stock price go up over a short timeframe

            To be fair, that’s why the Board of Directors is hiring them. Everything else is secondary to line go up.

        There was a line on 3rd rock from the sun that was so relatable to me as a teenager in the 90s.

        Tommy, the oldest alien, now trapped in the teenagers body, is trying to get a job at a fast food place. The manager turns him down. And when Tommy asks why, the manager says “I can’t hire you, you have no experience!

        And when Tommy asks how you get experience, the manager says “First you get a job”. Tommy asks how you get a job, and the manager says “You need experience!
