Imagine your bro gets promoted from VP of somewhere to CEO of a company with a lot of bad press. You grew up with the guy. Think you would take a chance at trying to exert gentle social pressure on him?

Probing my underlying thoughts, probably something about social checks and balances preventing violence

IDK if good friends have ever slapped it out of business leaders before when there is a market etc. to consider

CEOs have friends who are also rich and exploited people to get rich. They don't care and only think about us as expendable resources for capital gain. Ethical treatment only extends to those at their perceived level.

Ya, people don't typically keep friends that don't align with their own interests
