Is that an exec taking responsibility? Respect, I guess.
- vasco 4y agoThe difference between that and a scapegoat is not abundantly clear.
- gkoberger 4y agoI mean, I don't think it's fair to call a CRO a scapegoat... it's literally their job.
- paxys 4y agoI'd say making money is the CEO's primary job. You can't just hire a "CRO" or whatever other random C title and blame them when things go south at the company. I doubt the person fired had that much influence on company headcount, product strategy and operational budgets.
- Rapzid 4y agoI think it's both a way to delegate and shield the CEOs 12m base pay from economic uncertainty haha. To your point though, seems PDs revenue and other numbers are doing pretty darn good year-over-year..
- seizethecheese 4y agoYes it is. A scapegoat is a “lightning rod” of blame. In this case, people were laid off beside them, so scapegoat isn’t an accurate term.
- jorts 4y agoI'm sure Dave was asked to exit the business.
- jmartens 4y agoThey've had great sales, and the stock was even upgraded by a major analyst last week because they show a track record of being resilient and still being able to grow. So unless they suddenly had a bad quarter (which ends next week), the CRO seems to have done a great job.
