45	->Outside of [[ToxicInc Endron ]]headquarters, literally no-one knows who makes Endron policy. This is not a canard, but rather the frightening state of affairs: all important decisions have to be passed up the chain to corporate HQ to to be decided on by the movers and shakers of the company.

All responsibility and power ultimately rests with "Them," whoever they might be - the average Endron employee honestly has no idea. Mind you, the names and faces of corporate officials appear in annual reports and the like, but everyone from middle management on down knows that those men and ([[PoliticallyIncorrectVillain rare]]) women [[PuppetKing aren't the real powers that be]]. "They" [[HiddenVillain keep themselves well-hidden from even their own]].
