Toronto School Board "Chief" Ban, Cultural Appropriation
The Toronto District School Board (TDSB) removed the word "chief" from job titles, such as "Chief of Social Work," to avoid offending Indigenous communities. The hosts mock the decision and brainstorm alternative titles for the "C-suite," suggesting "Prime Executive Officer" as a replacement for CEO. They debate whether the term "commander-in-chief" will be targeted next.
A host recounts an anecdote from their time as a New York executive regarding a female colleague's elaborate lunch rituals, involving booked conference rooms and fine china. The story is used to illustrate the "suck-up" culture and specific power processes that often surround high-ranking female leaders, drawing a parallel to Hillary Clinton's inner circle.
Corporate Boardroom Culture, Executive Bonuses and Incentives
A debate ensues regarding whether corporate fraud is a calculated scheme or a result of an insular culture. One host argues that executives are often divorced from reality due to their high-status environments, leading them to believe massive bonuses are justified despite public outcry. The behavior is described as a "fractal" of a larger systemic game played by those in power.
