Honest Weight's Best and Brightest Just Keep on Giving...

There is so much to marvel about when it comes to the governing Board at Honest Weight. First, there is the fact of the Board's purging of staff members from its ranks by proclaiming the need for it because of supposed conflicts of interest. They did this despite the fact that there is no evidence that this has ever been a problem with staff serving on the Board of the Corpop over its forty year history. There is nothing like replacing empirical reality with a fabricated one.

Second, there is the fact that Boards for years have ignored and continue to ignore real conflicts of interest. For example, Honest Weight Boards have ignored Board members wives serving as managers of departments at the Corpop. Honest Weight Boards have ignored the fact that a child of one of the members of the LT, the Corpops leadership team, was given a job in one of the departments at the Corpop. Honest Weight Boards have ignored the fact that there has long been a situation at the Corpop where members of the Board and the members of management at the Corpop developed and continue to develop close relationship with one another undermining the objectivity of at least some Board members in the process. Let's call this the theory of Board aristocracy. These real conflicts of interest are such a problem that any objective observer would recommend getting rid of the membership programme entirely given that real conflicts of interest are woven into the very fabric of the Corpop.

Third, while the Board was fixated on imaginary or hallucinated staff enemies within, they apparently forgot to appoint or call an election when Simon Moon offered his resignation from the Board in what seems like a year ago. If the current Board had simply done this there might be no problem with governance at the Corpop today. If the current Board had done this they might have the five member quorum they need as mandated by the corporations by-laws.

Frankly, all of these examples raise valid questions about the competence of the Board...It also raises questions about opiates...
