Either the company is doing so poorly that they’re begging for cash in the streets, or begging for cash is one of their normal ways to make money. In either case, if the shareholders find out, they’re in trouble.
Briefly: two Wall Street executives have been reduced to begging after a spectacular bankrupty. They have nothing to fear except the people they defrauded.
P.S. “2B a CIDU, or not 2B a CIDU”: that is the question (that the tags did not answer).
There was some official action, in line with a corporate responsibility movement, to recognize that a business has responsibilities towards various “stakeholders” beyond narrowly the “shareholders”.
P.P.S. I would be willing to swear that the CIDU tag wasn’t there before, but it sure is now.
The executive at work is consulting the one who has been reduced to begging by bad business decisions. And is afraid of getting caught at it.
“walkS by’
No, Andrea. ‘None’ can be singular or plural, even if it’s etymologically ‘not one’. I usually use the plural and would use it here. We’ll be fine unless any of the shareholders walk by.
‘walkS’ by . . . Dave Kellett doesn’t call me “Ms Pedant'” for nuttin’!!
“Dave Kellett doesn’t call me ‘Ms Pedant’ for nuttin’”
Is it still pedantry if you aren’t right? Or is there different name for that?
Miss Taken . . .
It is still pedantry even if you aren’t right. Think of inept literary pedants like Partridge in “Tom Jones”.
^^^ Like Cliff Claven from “Cheers”. As opposed to Dietrich on “Barney Miller”, who was pedantic but usually correct.
