The suit against our Staten Island chemical plant has escalated rather quickly. I had hoped that Mr. Rand would be here to speak for his actions, but the concept of work hours is still foreign for him. However, we are a team and we need to support our colleague as he continues his transition back into this life and this company, so let us do what we do best, and save the day. I've carefully weighed our options, and after consulting with Joy, I've reached a conclusion: settling would be a mistake. Paying these people off admits there's something to hide when there isn't. This was an act of pure manipulation and I'm calling their bluff.
I think you might be letting right and wrong interfere with what's best for the company Ward.
Really, Lawrence? Are you willing to sacrifice $200,000,000 during one of the most challenging fiscal years this company has ever had?
The bad publicity could cost us even more in the long run! Can we honestly take that kind of risk?
We settle here, and suddenly everyone is knocking at the door, looking for a handout.
This looks bad.
They'll boycott our products.
If there's one thing we can all agree on, it's that my brother has never given us a reason to doubt him. Look at his track record, every decision has been impeccable. I may not always see it at the time, but he has never once failed this company. We can trust Ward, we can trust that this is a risk worth taking.
