You're a CEO

Being born rich has it's perks. Cheers to continuing the cycle of wealth. One day your best, most trusted manager, Atlas, says something awfully stupid on social media.

In response to a female serial killer being apprehended, Atlas made a post saying, "women who do shit like this should be sent to a male prison." His post went viral and outraged the public. Atlas has since apologized.

Still, the public demands he be fired and replaced. But doing so would be devastating to your company. Atlas is irreplaceable, having pulled off several impossible stunts that paved the way for your company to succeed. You can always trust him to get things done.

If he wasn't so valuable where he is, he would certainly have been promoted. But public approval is very important as well. Most of your income comes from selling to other companies, but at least 30% comes from ordinary consumers.

Would you fire Atlas to appease the public? Or is he too valuable to throw away?

*What do you do?*
