Many people observe a limited subset of reality. It's highly visible when a company hits a crisis and people lose their jobs; it's much more common, but much less visible, for a CEO to get an after-hours call about a brewing problem which they must immediately work to smooth over.

- rideontime 2mo agoYou truly don't see the difference between those two examples?
- SpicyLemonZest 2mo agoI'm not quite sure why you ask that? I'm not arguing that these two very different examples are the same, I'm explaining more concretely what it means to say that a CEO's job is to "to be responsible to the business".
- rideontime 2mo agoAnd you don't see being laid off due to the business's failure as being "responsible to the business"?
- SpicyLemonZest 2mo agoI do. It’s on the CEO’s shoulders the other 95% of the time. (Which again, I agree is not some horrible deal, it’s much more fun to be a CEO who’s stressed with too many calls than a blue collar worker who’s stressed about feeding their family.)
