From elsewhere in this thread:
- Part of the deal with being an executive is no job security. It's part of the trade you make for gigantic compensation.
- What would be preferred, firing him the first day he's back?

This is the case in any at will hire.

This trade is made by people regardless of the compensation amount.

Yes, optics matter and it would send a better message and set a better example.

Why would that be? Surely the badness in being fired is tied to the sudden loss of income, which is less bad if you’re super wealthy.
Companies are having to hold the line on what we value in this country, as legislation from environmental to health is not keeping up.
Twitter is specifically of note because the CEO recently had a child and rightfully took paid leave himself.
Whatever your personal opinions are on Elon Musk, he is very influential.
The man has six children and a varying track record on how he has communicated his views and personal use of parental leave and the role of the father following the birth of a child.

The culture and policy Twitter matters. It doesn’t matter if the individual experience is that a janitor or senior management.
