I dunno, being a CEO is a stressful job, the buck stops with you ultimately. Yes they're paid very well, which counters this a bit!
lol, fucking please. The buck stops with them? So when they over hire and fuck up profits do they get fired or is it all the staff? And when they do get fired do they get packages for fucking up? What about regular employees? Get outta here with that ignorant nonsense.
They often do get fired, yes. See WeWork or Uber.
I think the problem is that most often the buck doesn't stop with them. They always find a way to find a scapegoat instead. If they were 100% liable for anything wrong the company does, we'd be on the right path. But it's always a "rogue employee".
They got fired in both WeWork and Uber...
Doesn't make the job less stressful though?
You also realise not all CEOs earn stupid money? The CEO of my company with about 100 employees certainly isn't earning millions. It also doesn't matter how much you get paid, a stressful job is still stressful.
Okay...? Clearly some jobs are more stressful than others though.
Most CEOs don't get those perks btw. Most CEOs aren't millionaires. The CEO of the company I work for isn't paid millions.
But besides, even with all the luxuries in the world, it doesn't stop the job being stressful. Being a leader of a country comes with a lot of perks, but it's still a stressful job.
