> not everything needs final approval from the C-level suite (hell, that's their selling point to new hires.)

Would you care to back that up with anything (not the part in parentheses)?

Why does everything on this site need to be backed up? Am I supposed to take a personal interest in your epistemic state as a matter of charity?

If you said you had your wallet in your pocket no one would ask you to back it up. If you said you had invented a perpetual motion machine, people would.

Claiming that the C-level executives of a company don't have final say in or control of projects and budgets falls into the second category.

Except that's not what he said. He didn't say that the C-levels didn't have control, just that they don't have to approve everything that you want to do.

Pretty awesome policy for a discussion board. I know I'm looking forward to the next 10,000 "citation needed" comments!
