Re: They knew who sent the e-mail - Were they sacked?
A paltry £145,000?
No doubt the Chief Executive could pay that out of their salary (not to mention other remuneration eg pension) and still live a comfortable life.
In other articles on here, ie HPE/Autonomy, the overwhelming sentiment appears to be that Apotheker, as CEO, was responsible for everything, including a detailed knowledge of UK published accounts and accounting standards.
Applying the same logic, why isn't the Chief Executive of the Council being dismissed, together with the head of IT? As with our LA, they take the large rewards yet never accept responsibility.
