What do you work? In most companies most employees know the CEO. Not as a person, but as a symbol. He writes emails to the team. He says which products for which markets should be developed. And he hires/fires people, or at least the ones that do the hiring/firing for him.
- user5994461 10y agoThat's what mine do at my current company, he's fine. (Startup around 80 people now). In my past 3 companies (from 100 to 100 000), I have never heard of the CEO once, don't know any name, not sure there is one, if there is one he might as well not exist. It sure ain't a person and ain't a symbol. For some people, it's actually a demoralizing symbol of "A useless employee making xM$ for nothing. He shouldn't be there."
