Yes they actually do. Look up Dodge v. Ford Motor Company. A business must be run in the interests of the shareholders, not the public, not the employees, not even the business itself.
Is it morally right? Fuck no. Is it the law? Unfortunately yes.
Plenty are greedy psychopaths, I’m not saying the above as a forgiveness, I’m stating it as a fact. A CEO is a legal “corporate officer” of a company. Seems you need to learn a bit more about fiduciary responsibilities for a CEO. It is a legal obligation.
Maybe you’ll do some reading, probably not though, huh? The people in your life must be just fucking exhausted by that energy of yours.
And let’s not forget that most significant forms of “harm” are illegal in the first place. The comment above you makes it sound like any minute now, Nabisco might decide it’s more profitable for them to roll out to your house and kill you.

Usually it is an indirect murder, though. Like we are reading about chicken processing plants deciding it is more profitable to maim or kill children rather than pay adults.
No they fucking don’t.

Nope. There are these obligations but it is not illegal for a CEO to perform sub optimally, or even make multi year losses.
