This company has become a joke-What a downfall

Senior account executive

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

At least now I can witness the CEO standing next to the President as a fool, likely experiencing the same treatment he gives his own employees possibly being a puppet and getting yelled at.

Cons

Hopefully, he doesn't bring controversial figures (The Proud Boys and/or January 6 rioters) to the 9/11 charity event, as most high-profile celebrities are probably declining to attend. Instead, it'll likely be a gathering of lesser-known names (Kid Rock, Hulk Hogan) offering minimal support - while employees receive an email urging them to donate part of their paycheck to his charity.
