If you're not hearing any danger music - remember this is the company whose CFO testified that he was not sure who the company's CEO was. Even though he had worked there for 2 decades.

Your statement is actively misleading (i.e. lying).

After a little digging. That statement was made in 2022 when the CFO, who reports to the company president, who does some of the job of CEO but who reports to some unclear structure of family personalities above him who do a lot of the more strategic bits, was being deposed in a lawsuit (and this would make him very careful about what he says) among members of that family who owned the company. So it's not like he doesn't know who's calling the shots. He doesn't know who the CEO is in the most strict legal technicality sense.

I'm sure they've got some slapdash plants and a whole bunch of stuff that needs correcting, but taking something that's tangential to that and acting like it matters is a great illustration of one of the many things wrong with modern discourse.

You don't see this as a problem?

The corporate governance structure of a company of this magnitude should be well defined, not an array of family members filling various high level roles when it behooves them.

From the Fortune article you linked:

> According to a deposition from 2022, when asked who the CEO of the company was, CFO Steve Kourelakos, a two-decade Boar’s Head veteran, answered, “I’m not sure.”

Based on the Ars article (grim problems discovered at 3 other Boar's Head plants, long after the revelations about their Jarratt facility) your "some unclear structure of family personalities above him" has no real interest in food safety. Which was my point. I did not accuse them of being Bond villains, nor selling Soylent Green.

(FWIW, "some slapdash plants and a whole bunch of stuff that needs correcting" seems a rather misleading summary of the grim details of the inspections of their facilities. Ditto of their demonstrated disinterest in correcting anything. And rather insensitive to all the people hospitalized or killed by Boar's Head's food safety failings last year.)

I agree that GP is a low-effort negative-value comment for the reasons you give.
