“I’d like to give you a little bit of advice around the media…My strong advice and request to everybody is just don’t engage with the media. If you’re approached, I would recommend not responding and, if necessary, simply refer them to our own media organization.”
They’re spiraling, they dont know how to do damage control and are afraid this will spawn copycats. It should. If you want to be a dragon, dont complain when knights show up to slay you.
I’ve never in my entire life wanted something more than to see copycats going after the C-Suite of places that put profits over people, especially when they’re running a company that should not exist. Because then maybe… politicians will finally get some meaningful reforms. Because they sure as hell don’t care about dead kids. Thoughts and prayers!!!
I have a feeling that this might be pushing any new shooters to start going after the rich. They end up being treated like hero’s and their names stick around. After all most just wanted the recognition.
Better CEOs than the school children it’s been thus far.
Ugh fuck… if we see the same demographic shift, and those numbers finally stopping, are we supposed to celebrate this? Wtf are y’all teaching your kids about this? I teach mine that in spite of daddy’s successful career in capitalism, the wealthy are a whole other thing who want to take our shit, beat us down, and virtually enslave us, and one day the masses may get angry and eat the rich. I also teach violence is absolutely never okay except to survive or protect, and we never start fights but we always make sure to end them. So now it’s happening… Wtf do I say to him? I’m honestly asking for advice… clearly from my comment history today, I’m finally reading the social media here and processing…
Well… I think it’s reached the point where this is violence to survive and protect.

One can only hope
I don’t remember the story well enough, but we may have to re-write the story of Sir Gawain and the Black Knight after this.
Wait I thought it was Gawain and the Green Knight, or is Gawain just an unlucky bastard.
I thought Gawain had to deal with both, like I said, I haven’t read those stories in decades
Same havent read anything Arthurian that wasnt trying to figure out what its based off of historically in years. I just know Gawain fought the Green Knight because its one of my favorite stories from the Arthurian mythos, also the Green knight is a pretty good legendary hero in Total Warhammer.
That’s actually how it’s supposed to work. You don’t talk and you refer question askers to PR, HR, and lawyers. I’ve always been instructed this for any organization I worked for.
Work in a lot of places with bad PR huh?
I worked in preclinical drug development and then another was marketing for child care. It was kind of the norm for everything, not just crisis.

Yeah just tell your employees to turn their back to people. Solid advice!
Andrew Witty btw. That’s the new United Health CEO. I expect good things to come from him very soon.
Edit: as mentioned below, he’s CEO of the parent company, not the replacement CEO
He’s been the CEO of UnitedHealth Group for 3 years now. UnitedHealth Care is a subsidiary, their CEO was the one shot. Best I can tell they haven’t announced a replacement yet.
I know the org intimately. This this exactly correct. Most of their business is B2B. UHC is actually a fairly small slice of the pie. They have literally dozens of CEOs. The one killed is the CEO of the healthcare insurance entity.
So there’s more work to do, eh?
This is false

Waahhhh can’t you let us profit off of ruining people’s lives in peace!
Kind of a leopards face eaten reaction
“can’t we just destroy lives in peace!?”
Aww poor you
Boo-hoo, there are average people’s lives who get disturbed when they’re plastered all over the media and you profit off of that at every chance. Same should happen to you.

By the way, and if he gets to pick --if he gets to pick your coverages, nothing you can do, folks. Although the Second Amendment people, maybe there is, I don’t know.

Waaaaaah! Why is everyone picking on us?
If I was this dude, I would have quietly resigned two days ago, and moved into my bunker.
You dont rise to that dude’s position without being a greedy asshole that risks everything to get as much money as possible.
I don’t know why anyone would want to become Chief Executable Officer.

Yes. Lookup greed in the dictionary, and you’ll find these folks
