It reminds of a defendant going on the witness stand brimming with confidence, only to be shredded by the opposing attorney (maybe by a Black Diamond ice axe).
I'd go with the Shimano Dura-Ace/XTR CN-HG900 11-Speed Bike Chain, Giro Cipher Full Face Bike Helmet, Gerber Gator Golok Machete and Counter Assault Bear Deterrent Spray - 10.2 oz.
Too many people in power positions are over confident that because they can control that environment; because they have ascended to the heights; that the lower tier people who surround them sing their praises.... they can similarly control all other things.
I think the CEO had a point. It was an ice axe to the skull that did Trotsky in when the Stalinist apparatchiks came to get him in Mexico City. But if I had to face an ice axe wielded by a REI CEO, I might want a 9 mm Glock.
Back in my days of rock climbing for white supremacy Black Diamond had far & away the best equipment. Those days are long gone but the company still has the coolest t-shirts & catalogs.
It made me look at the ice axe. My wife is a "member" at REI. Well done, as marketing. I have been looking into home defense stuff, lacking a gun, the samurai sword being a bit long for the purpose, and being as the old teeth are not quite what they were. Hanging an ice axe by the door seems a decent option. A bit eccentric maybe.

They characterize it as having backfired. I'm not sure I'd agree with that. From the first paragraph:
He probably hoped to field questions about how awesome his company is.
No evidence is supplied that was what he hoped for.
This is another case of a journalist writing a story to suit their own biases.
Can we just talk about "Rampart"?
That was an AMA that backfired. This doesn't seem that bad.

Even halt the rising of the seas.
The first mistake is to allow the underlings a platform. Hasn't he seen Downton Abbey or Upstairs Downstairs?
Or One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich?
