I hate to say it, but when we're talking about a leadership position, that hasn't been filled yet, looking at somebody's ability to be consistent leader is a factor.

If memory serves this executive was out for treatment, when the previous CEO stepped down in the replacement was chosen.

They simply were not available. It's hard to be a part-time CEO

Of course it's possible to be a part time CEO and there are more and more leadership positions that are job shared, etc.

Everything else is sexist and ableist bullshit, because it usually disadvantages women and disabled disproportionately.

A three month period for cancer treatment isnt gonna cause the company to fail. We've had people get hired in positions and then take their first like month off on approved leave.

If it's world war II, and you're thinking about who to make your overall theater commander, You're going to put a lot of factors into that, including is this person available.

It wouldn't make sense to make general Patton your absolute commander, and then have him be unavailable for 3 months.

Double so if they've already refused orders
