That sounds like something worth firing the CEO over.

Or worth suing for failure of his fiduciary responsibility to maximize shareholder value. How does wiping out code maximize shareholder value?

The CEO will suffer a worse fate. He’s going to write an email about his very hard decision to lay off his staff (while accepting a bonus).
