Survey Says!
Last week's CI CyberNews CyberPoll focused on BP CEO Tony Hayward being removed from his position following the company's response the Gulf Coast oil spill. The majority of respondents (61.5%) don't believe it is fair for Hayward to take all of the blame. Other respondents (26.9%) do believe it's fair, while the remaining (11.6%) participants are unsure. One reader commented, "He should have had more support from the chairman, whose performance was less than adequate, especially considering these tragic circumstances. However, the CEO was obviously out of his depth and had obviously been picked as a scapegoat." Follow this
