- 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.
