This is a social media conundrum. It elevates the awareness crowd above the effective crowd. Saying is of more value than doing.
There's also a critique of corporate marketing and corporate "values" to be raised, but that's a long conversation for another day.

Most of the time if a board or CEO comes to me to talk about terminating someone senior in their operation I spend a lot of time asking them what they want and getting them to think through the pros and cons and I weigh in on legal pros and cons. I try to be dispassionate about it.
If their CEO had brought this one to me, I would have been "come on, X, don't be an ass, this is stupid."
