    what the fuck could the CEO possibly do for a company that seems to just fucking zombie its way along, it does literally nothing and hasnt died, what could the CEO possibly be qualified for, it’s not like they’re gaining more market share from having a good product

      They are the face of the company. If they are shit at communicating it will affect share prices which could end a company. They have to say the right things at the right times or they could potentially break laws by saying the wrong things.

      There’s a lot of stuff they need to know and it’s not cheap to get that knowledge.

        I love all the vague, ambiguous examples that say nothing.

        I mean, the Intel CEO just literally quote the Bible… I guess you need a lot of education for that

        Look, I understand you can’t get a high school dropout to do this job, but can they really justify earning 10000x more than other people in their companies? Are they 10000x more valuable??

        If that’s all there is, it sounds like you just need good legal and marketing department and someone who is attractive to deliver their script.

        I notice, very glaringly, you didn’t mention a SINGLE thing about the company running efficiently, being profitable, producing something of value…

        It’s not that the company could end if it doesn’t do well at what it does. It’s that the company could end if fickle, short-term focused asshats aren’t happy, and to keep them happy, you need a head fickle, short-term focused asshat at the helm.

        God, I wish every company could just be private.

        i dont even fucking know who C suites at mozilla, i havent even googled their company in years to see if they even still exist. The only sign of life from this company is when i update my system and firefox also gets updated.

        Also, it’s pretty cheap to get that knowledge, just don’t ever say anything that might lose you money.
