I read the thread you pointed to already. I already had a CEO who took over my company, made millions, bailed, and left customers and employees to go down the tubes.
Here, here... watched it from a close distance once, been through that experience personally two times (narrowly avoided a third time--left before they folded) already. I know it when I see it, now. Nokia's doing suspiciously similar dance moves.

Actually, if that janitor was then asked by the press to keep showing up to make statements about his speaking out, he would be considered a public figure too.
