The CEO of Intuit (who make financial software) did an interview, and it seems a pretty normal interview. But some senior guy at the company asked for part of the interview to be deleted, after it took place.
By putting in that unusual request (rather angrily), more attention is being drawn to the interview.
Thoughts?
Eh. Honestly, the line of “questions” was rather stupid.
“Why aren’t you lobbying to make your business irrelevant” is essentially what the interviewer pushed aggressively.
Sure, I get calling out a CEO for deflecting tough questions with corporate BS. But it was a pretty dumb line of questioning in the first place.
Why isn’t Google lobbying for privacy protections?
Why isn’t Comcast lobbying for net neutrality?
Just make your statement and ask for comment. “Our listeners consider Intuits lobbying against tax reform that would benefit tax payers to be adversarial to their customers. What would you say to them?”
