No... it would only prove they are willing to throw a few to the mob to save the rest.

It doesn't really "prove" either one, but it is a step in the right direction.

I think we should be encouraging companies to address their issues. Being cynical about it doesn't really help.

That said, I agree with you that if they think their hands are now clean, they've sort of missed the point.

Mind sharing whatever information you have that shows that CTO was aware of everything HR and other managers were trying to sweep under the rug?
