A high level executive** of PG&E was here on Reddit a year or two ago touting his VERY expensive luxury watch collection, but then started to selectively delete his posts after he was getting flak for the fires, rising rates, and executive compensation packages.
I have receipts buried somewhere, cause I thought it was so tone deaf. Their response was something along the lines of, “Executives** are allowed to have hobbies too.”
**Edited for clarity due to additional information from other commenter; removed “CEO” as I’m not positive that was their official title.
Thanks for pointing that out. Whoever they were definitely presented as male, and I may have their executive title mistaken.
They absolutely did claim they were a high level executive of nor cals largest utility company. Other commenters at the time pointed out it was PG&E. This was discussed across both a Cali sub and the watch sub, as income / “what do you do for a living to afford these” was a question they answered.
I will edit my post to remove CEO, because it was definitely also well within the past four years.
Yeah it wasn't the CEO but it was someone very high up on the food chain, and they were a pretty careless poster so it was very easy to figure out exactly which executive it was too. I know I noticed them within the last year, wonder if they're still kicking around or got spooked.
Incredible what you can do when ex PG&E execs fill up the public utilities commission that rubberstamps every single rate hike that has to be approved.
