The corporate president/CEO/COB – all powerful Oz, memorably called me into his office for a heated one-on-one discussion. I had discovered something that would greatly alter how the corporation would eventually manage safety and health.
My job was on the line. Within minutes after the CEO chewed my ear, I arranged a confidential meeting with the operating company president. I briefed him on the situation, described changes that must occur, and I promised to protect his plant management the best I could. My loyalty to him was thus established.
