I’ve worked for Ma and Pa shops and Coca-Cola and I can state categorically that there was never a problem such as this - in consumer packaged goods, the biggest crime is for a faulty product getting to the marketplace as the empty boxes did - when the CEO was the only person who knew about the problem. This type of problem is the biggest stick that CEOs will use to beat those below them. So what happened to the plant manager, quality group, etc.? Did they show up and the worker ignored them too?
