    I have to wonder what a CEO actually does besides soaking up money and regurgitating corporate speak nonsense. Maybe “plan” the next layoff…sorry, “transformation?”

      I feel like at really small companies they can be useful. Public face, schmooze with investors, keeping all the departments rowing in the same direction. That has value. Just not like 100x the lowest paid person value.

      Meanwhile the CEO of Google is a collosal fuckup who lets them cancel projects constantly, kill their brand, and spin their wheels without doing anything good for the long term.
