sometimes you bring on a ceo just to get some controversial thing done. they can eat the blame and then leave

You bring in a female CEO to take the fall. The narrative gets to be about her weak leadership.

Ellen Pao wasn’t even CEO for a full year. Reddit clearly put her in charge to take the heat - which they knew would be ample based on her sex alone.

This is moronic and sexist.

History is full of males that were suckered into taking the fall.

Saying that women alone are incompetent to the point of always being suckered into a CEO position to be the fall gal is peak misogynism.

Think things through a little before posting.

What is "the glass cliff", Alex.

Sorry that stating the existence of this systemic sexism is apparently sexist. Guess I'm sexist?

Yes, you are sexist….against women for sure (your comment proves that) and probably men, also.
