Bayer CEO Retires Citing Self-care While 23,000 Women Suffer

Marijn Dekkers, CEO of Bayer, is retiring at the end of 2016. At 58, eyebrows have been raised at his announcement. Many CEOs work well into their 60s, but Mr. Dekkers has other ideas. While I normally applaud people for engaging in self-care, my applause at Mr. Dekkers’ announcement won’t be forthcoming anytime soon. Bayer manufactures one of the most heinous and dangerous medical devices on the market, Essure. I cannot be happy as the Bayer CEO retires citing self-care while 23,000 women suffer and he ignores them.
