Not in the least. The BoD determines the current and future direction and administrative personnel of a business enterprise. Don't confuse superficial similarities with grossly different governing documents and duties. How can you revile Milley and his woke agenda, and not also dismiss his stupid analogies?
If you want similarities, it is more appropriate to compare corporations to oligopolies, where the boards of directors have hornswoggled the shareholders in order to wield power and make money in the short term.
The movie "Margin Call" shows how a BoD reacted when the companies financial disaster happened: sell it all, to anyone will buy the crap, and get rewarded with huge bonuses and the possibility of still working when 80% of the staff is fired...
Great movie, maybe. What do movies have to do with actual Board decisions? The Boeing Board decided it would work out just fine to build the new 787 as components that would "snap together" as easily as Lego blocks. Very attractive concept and they signed up vendors and factories to do the job. And when the pieces came together...they wouldn't go together. All along the engineering union had been warning that this would happen if the system engineering was neglected. So, the concept had to be substantially abandoned and Boeing took over some of the vendor activities (e.g., the production facility at South Charleston).
Bad management practices propagate from the top down. With the post-merger Board in place, there was less tolerance to accept reports of problems, so that was percolated down to lower reporting levels. Supervisors made it known to their staff that they didn't want to hear about problems (as they were overwhelmed). The engineers, being brighter than the ordinary trained seas, got the message and stopped reporting problems. But the problems didn't get the memo. This was particularly prevalent on the KC-46 program.
It is sadly true that the Boeing Board is prone to stock by-backs instead of internal engineering research and development.
The bad behavior of Boards reminds me of a saying attributed to Anton Chekov: "Families are all alike in their good times, but they are all different in their miseries." Movies may be illustrative, but they are also calculated to simplify a chain of events for the comprehension of the audience.
The movie related to the 2008 disaster and showed the actions of the CEO and the board destroyed lives willy nilly as it did in RL. Heinous actions of dedicated psychos..
What is your point? You point to a movie. I point to terrible harm done to a corporation and innocent people. I think real-life events are more relevant.
Sometimes a film mirrors OUR situation totally -I AM saying great harm was done as in The Big Short. I point to the inhumanity of corporate cold blooded decisions. I was NOT affected by 2008, but WAS affected by the lockdowns of 2020-it destroyed my supplemental revenue steams.
We know, that is why two hundred generals and admirals backed trump. They are operating the actual Constitution, (which was abandoned by the corporate deep state) under martial law while devolution takes place.
...actual Constitution, (which was abandoned by the...military / Lincoln when the Congress/government failed by losing it's quorum and was not "reconstructed".
Why does Lincoln Memorial have fasces on Abe's THRONE ?
General Milley: “Sure, I absolutely do I believe in transparency your the board of directors for this corporation called the American government and I believe that you’re entitled to those within the bounds of classification. Absolutely. So whatever documents are out there should be turned over to the appropriate committees of jurisdiction and oversight, and whatever witnesses are needed to establish truth and transparency within the bounds of classification should. Absolutely. Absolutely. That’s why I’m here.”
Ok, so I busted out laughing at the clip of Leonardo DiCaprio after Milley said that about the BoD 😂
We need that clip on one of our GIFS pages. Please modes make that happen. Too bad the GIFS don't have sound, the whistle was hilarious!
Congress is not the Board of Directors, they are merely blackmailed sheep doing the bidding of a few.
But that's how a BoD works in the corporate world.
True statement.
YUP, You can dissent but you better be right and when YOU are right, It is now no longer your idea. Been There Done That.
Yes again

Yes
It makes me wonder when will it be revealed that the US Republic has been fully restored?
Methinks 7/4/24 or when Trump says meet the VP JFK Jr.
& then RFK says he doesn't want to run against his cousin, drops out to support them.
boom!
Methinks that will happen under trumps revenge tour
correction "Bloodbath Tour". Do your part and donate blood for the bloodbath
When everybody can be criticized publicly
Some of that 80% covert is leaking out

Why does Lincoln Memorial have fasces on Abe's THRONE ?
Huge if (anything actually happens for once)
So nothing is happening ?
Not yet. Some dude said some different and interesting words. But that doesn't mean too much if nothing happens
thought it was disolved/bankrupt as per jan
Doesn't mean it isn't
I’ve always thought Milley was with us
And you would be wrong.
