I wonder how many got their bonuses for making their quotas every year and then we have this sudden “Oh they have done the wrong thing and we must clear ourselves of them…because a Banking RC might just determine we supported this culture”. But hark my SARCASM runneth over and no bank has ever been involved in any unethical dealings ever and if you don’t believe the banks just ask the banks for their ruling on it.

There were a number of publications over the decades that called out the evolution from companies being run by sales types to accounting types and then to the ‘MBA’, with the attending degradation of everything except profit, that could be hit or miss or disaster as the companies lost the plot of what they were about…

Sales focuses on the customer to get their dollar, accounting focuses on the dollar at the expense of everything else, and MBAs have generally sold ‘the soul’ to arm waving more often than not.
