Isn&amp;#x27;t this the sole purpose of performance reviews? If the employee isn&amp;#x27;t doing their job, just fire them.&lt;p&gt;Sounds to me like the execs just have control issues. &amp;quot;WE get to fly around in the private jets and strike business deals on the golf course, not you!&amp;quot;</text></comment>

Equifax and the other two have a very large impact on USA citizens day-to-day. I hate it but, we can&amp;#x27;t pretend they don&amp;#x27;t matter.</text></comment>
