CEOs are hired by owners/investors for the explicit purpose of maximizing profits. If the CEO were instead, for instance, elected by the workers, or hired by a community cooperative, I think opinions of CEOs would be much higher.
In other words: it’s not the CEO, it’s the system.
If a CEO was elected by thr employees it would be like any other elected official, where it can swing widely from being excellent to awful because large numbers of people are not great at selecting quality leadership. Now a system where an employee elected board selects the CEO and the employees have the power to remove the CEO, that could be pretty solid.
I can hate both.
The CEO just lets me add a face to the ire.
The juiciest part of market socialism is that when all the employees get a direct share of the business’ profits, they are spontaneously incentivized to work efficiently and minimize waste.
It’s a win-win.
What is this, the rated-PG version? The classic punchline is “but I would never guillotine the janitor”.
Repeating the joke without the right punchline is key to posting on Twitter
Treat janitors with the respect that CEOs want you to treat them with.
The janitor would see the toading as being sarcastic.
janitors do work though
I don’t want to behead my janitor though…
Same here! The janitor is such a badass, he keeps the whole building ruining and is always around.
The CEO sens like a nice guy, but everytime he’s around, it feels like he’s just trying to get people to wave at him.
