Charlie may be considered a success in certain circles where money and status are the only things that matter, but he is a poor excuse for a leader, a man and a human being.
I’m fortunate to be married to a man who doesn’t have a mindset which justifies harming others to get ahead. He doesn’t have to cheat, lie, deflect, hide, and step on people to get ahead. He has the skills and emotional intelligence to do well financially on his talent alone. He is responsible, kind, trustworthy, generous, has integrity and is honest to a fault - all the things that Charlie is not.
My father and uncle selflessly put their lives on the line in 2 wars to support their country and make sure their families and friends could live in a free country for decades to come. Charlie would be considered a traitor and a weasel in their eyes.
My grandfather started his own business, worked long hours and built something good that still provides high- quality services for a fair price 100 years later. He raised a good family, and shared what he had with those less fortunate, quietly setting the example for what an honorable and good man should be.
I see the reasons for the ongoing failures of Wells Fargo very clearly: amoral selfish leaders at the top. You can only get away with swindling, lying, robbing Peter to pay Paul, and exploiting literally everyone who crosses your path for so long - eventually a weak foundation will cause the entire building to fall.
