The crazy thing about it is not that there is a role for someone to tell management it is going the wrong direction, but that the system expect management to actually hear and act upon those observations
I read it more as management had identified the issue and implemented this loud American role to get around the cultural issue of employees not speaking up. In other words, that management wants this input.
Of course, if the loud American role is being pushed by upper management on employees of lower level managers, then yeah…

I do think hiring an American for this role would be pretty crazy. I do doubt if this whole thing is even real
It is not real

Yeah I found that same thing. It does seem like bs.
