- TallGuyShort 7y agoAll 3 of those were founders, FYI, not that I agree with the female-fraud link.
- GhettoMaestro 7y agoArticles and memes like this are fucking annoying. Does the author think male CEOs aren’t fucked regularly as well?
- chrxr 7y agoThat's not the point of the glass cliff. The point is that women are more likely to be hired as CEOs when a company is in trouble than when a company is in good shape. It is specifically about the circumstances when a woman is more or less likely to be hired as a CEO.
- GhettoMaestro 7y agoSo the lesson here is don't accept a job that is destined for fail. I still fail to understand why it is a female-centric thing. Tons of guys have taken CEO jobs and gotten rick-rolled.
