Kohl’s CEO fired after making ‘highly unusual’ business deals with his romantic partner, report says
USA Today reports this too, but skirted the real issue:
Buchanan was fired after he violated company policies by directing Kohl's "to engage in vendor transactions that involved undisclosed conflicts of interest,"
Why would Kohls hire the ex-CEO of Bed Bath and Beyond to begin with? So he could drive Kohls out of business too?
large shareholders make a shit ton of short term cash when a company goes out of business
In all seriousness, this is viewed as a sign of a risk-taker. Many corporations find themselves stuck and afraid of change, so this can change the direction. It's related to the concept of "move fast and break things".
I have no idea how often this approach works.
Bed business is bad for business
