Sweet unmerciful fuck. This has blown up way beyond what it should have. A few things to shut up the pearl clutches:
-
Generally speaking people don't have problems with business OWNERS. Sure you're technically a CEO but that's like asking why a tomato isn't in a fruit salad.
-
No one is really operating under the MO of offing all CEOs everywhere just because they took the job.
-
You're absolutely right, not all CEOs are bad. Some still look at their employees and see valued assets that they invest in and grow. And they'll never make the news.
-
If you oversaw your company creating an algorithm that literally put weighted values to people's lives and then denied them coverage that they were confirmed to be eligible for through the programs that they pay you money for while also when being pointed out that this algorithm inaccurately denies people their coverage and has caused actual documented deaths....then if you're going to play at that table with people's lives don't look shocked when it's your turn to ante up.
Tell how chatgpt 2.0 isn't enough to replace these people, save a lot of money since they are overpaid & rid society from scumbags? You don't need to wait for chatgpt 17 to replace everyone else.
Why do they all layoff workers who actually do the thing? Why do they always leave in layers of management? What's up with return to office, why is zoom of all companies doing it?
It's consulting companies like McKinsey. They go to the board and say "you need a strong CEO to boost stock price". Then they go investment groups and say "look at this strong CEO, you should invest in this company"
The worst part is what McKinsey thinks makes for a "strong" CEO means they're specialized at doing something, usually something evil
