The current generation of very large market cap companies had CEOs like this.
It's harder to find a current unicorn or now established +$10B company that didn't have a C-level like this than ones that did (there are some good eggs at that level, but there's a hell of a lot of bad ones too).

- icedchai 4y agoI briefly worked at a smaller unicorn. During "all hands" meetings, there would be frequent swearing. One of the "senior executives" gets up there, tells us we need to work harder because he has a ton of stock and he needs to get rich off of it. "Let's f-in get this done guys!!!" Real professionals. At a earlier company (not near unicorn levels, but raised over $100 million), the CEO gets up on stage. He tells us we need to be willing to work nights and weekends on [major project]. If we don't believe in the vision and the company, we should get out now. "The stairs are in the back of the room!" Both these companies were awful.
