Unlike the usual shenanigans associated with defenestrating a top executive i.e. The latest imbroglio is one tailor made for the COVID 19 era, due to fraud, misuse of power or sexual impropriety. It is a reflection of how fraught and divisive COVID 19 rules have become for workers and corporate leaders.
A Credit Suisse probe found that the Portuguese native used a private aircraft contracted by the bank to combine personal and work trips, which discomfited some board members, according to a Wall Street Journal report. As far as allegations of corporate malfeasance go, that angle seems to be typical.
The inquiry found that Horta-Osorio has breached COVID 19 quarantine rules in the U.K. and Switzerland since he began his tenure at the bank, raising questions about his judgment and credibility at a time when the bank is struggling to overcome several operational scandals.
Two full years into the epidemic, businesses and citizens are still struggling to navigate a patchwork of protocols that are ostensibly meant to prevent infections, according to the ouster.
Credit Suisse's recent woes are a good example of how increasingly chaotic Pandemic policy is ensnaring the C-suite. As the Omicron wave crests, federal guidance and vaccine mandates were partially blocked by the Supreme Court decision last week, there was little hope for clarity.
More and more conventional COVID 19 orthodoxy is exposed as contradictory, arbitrary or shaped by political or business expediency take the CDC's controversial guidance on quarantines and cruise ships, which were recently covered by Yahoo Finance's Dani Romero Pandemic-era requirements, which have the ancillary effect of exacerbating tight labor conditions. The high court's direction is now forcing businesses to reap the whirlwind of the pandemonium that has come to define COVID 19 protocols.
Over a third of companies are waiting for federal guidance before making any definitive policy decisions on vaccines, according to Andrew Challenger, senior vice president of global outplacement and business and executive coaching firm Challenger, Gray Christmas.
He said that large companies are not required to get their workers vaccinated or tested, so employers will have to grapple with whether and how to impose their own rules, outbreaks that lead to absences, and pushback from workers who have COVID concerns.
Challenger Gray's data showed national divisions and confusion over how to navigate the virus-mottled landscape.
Over 34% of employers surveyed are waiting for federal guidance on vaccines, while 25% are requiring inoculation or regular testing - like at JPMorgan Chase JPM, where CEO Jamie Dimon is taking a hard line against unvaccinated employees by threatening to fire them. Challenger Gray found that 40% of businesses are not imposing mandates.
In an interview last week, U.S. Labor Secretary Marty Walsh told Yahoo Finance that most companies have stepped up but it's still the responsibility to work with employers to make sure that workplaces are safe for their workers, even with or without what the emergency temporary standard says. The gray area is likely to be exploited by big companies like Walmart WMT and Amazon AMZN, which have yet to make explicit requirements for staff. Macy s M told The Times that the company was evaluating its vaccination policy in light of the Supreme Court decision, despite the beleaguered retail sector battered by staff shortages and weak foot traffic.
The exodus of talent is rightly concerned with employers, as workers flee to other opportunities or leave positions that do not meet their needs, Challenger said. While many people think vaccine mandates create another hurdle to attracting and retaining workers, others see it as a selling point.
