> OK, fuck it. Please go become a CEO of a large corporation if you can. And then try to find peace in your dumb Trump hotel themed world, surrounded by fake smiles, cringe, and living in constant fear and being forced to make decisions you don't want to make, being legally liable for the mistakes of each one of your 100,000 employees and losing all your humanity in the process.
If this is your view of what a CEO’s life is I think it’s pretty warped. It’s a job. Yes you have to make some big decisions. But at the end of the day they still have a life outside of work, and a pretty fucking good one at that. And I’d argue that they very much want to be making those decisions which is why they became CEOs in the first place.
> Try to be happy knowing that you could change the life of a family by just giving them $500 but instead you spent $5,000,000 for a renovation for a stupid boat that you don't even have the time to use.
Well in defence of the CEO he probably contributed far more good to the world employing a bunch of people to renovate his yacht for $5 million than a one off donation of $500.
I’m going to stop replying to you now because if you think that a CEO has it worse on any level than a kid who works in a sweatshop and keels over before they turn 30 you’re absolutely delusional.
- 29athrowaway 4y agoOh really? How does the CEO of Coca Cola, the #1 plastic polluter and one of the top diabetes causing companies on Earth contribute good the world? Or the CEO of Meta, who has demonstrably made teenagers depressed around the world? created a platform that facilitated multiple election manipulation campaigns and even ethnic cleansing in Myanmar? And the consumption of millions of lifetimes worth of time wasted paying attention to pointless content?

Its a high stress job with crazy hours, travel etc. Some people thrive in those circumstances I guess but there's no way this doesn't affect your free time and personal life.
