The buck stops with the CEO. That sort of Nixon like defense happened and was ethically repudiated back in the early 1970s. Buck stops with the CEO, always, everyday and forever unless u get a new corporate and political system. A new corporate and political system may be more likely with P.R.C's President Xi and another 4 or 8 years of the last 8 years but for now, we still have a capital-based social democracy in Australia, America and the free world, so in my book, the buck stops with Deborah Thomas.
Otherwise, ask urself, why pay her $1.48 million or as it currently stands $1.302 million if you discount the Cash Bonus going to the Red Cross/ Victims.
