The major news over the weekend was a powerful and influential CEO resigning. Did he embezzle funds or cause the company to lose money? Engineered Solutions Inc’s CEO Thomas Hill reportedly made a ‘Nazi’ salute during a retreat in Boise. 
In less than a week, Mr. Hill was shown the door, resigning in a written statement apologizing for his inappropriate gesture. ESI is a multi-million, if not billion-dollar, company. It’s one of the best places to work in Idaho and a welcomed destination for Idahoans seeking a good job. The company donates massive amounts of time, money, and resources to bettering the state. In other words, they provide a lot of goodwill.
Unfortunately, the goodwill didn’t matter to the media industrial complex, which ran the story nonstop until forcing Mr. Hill to leave. It appears there was no attempt to call the crisis management team. Is it a product of the world we live in that someone who has dedicated themselves to improving their community can be gone by making one irresponsible mistake?…
