> people would overwhelmingly prefer to be CEOs
Really? How many people with a steady job you know who want to be CEO? Of a company with more than 10 people that is and that's even a bit pretentious to call that a CEO, but let's say; 10+ company. How many people do you personally know that would say; 'hell yeah, that sounds great'. I know 0 who are not CEO's already; the rest do not want the responsibility, the insecurity, the vagueness, the long hours, the decision making. They like to make 100k/year following whatever their manager says 9-5.
Maybe you move in different circles, but I find that very unlikely. Most people definitely do not want to lead.
- RivieraKid 6y agoThe preceding part of the quote is important: > Even if CEOs had the same salary as fast food workers, people would overwhelmingly prefer to be CEOs Yes, I think most people would prefer to be CEOs if all things except salary were unchanged. Being a fast food worker is not something people enjoy to do 5 day in a week and it's a boring, low status, manual job.
