They are lucky it's not the CEO-founder. Easier to put a non-CEO on leave than a CEO I imagine.

- slm_HN 13y agoSounds like you're so desperate to out the guy that you have to make a weird, nonsensical post. If you really want to out him that badly just man up an post his name rather than trying to weasel around with "Easier to put a president on leave than a CEO".
- peterjancelis 13y agoHere, I edited my post so I don't hurt your peculiar sensitivities. I wasn't outing anyone, the founder who shall not be named is the only married one as plenty of people pointed out from the start. Also, for context to the original comment, the founder we are discussing here used to be CEO but switched roles a while back.

- nknighthb 13y agoCompany governance is whatever the stockholders say it is. You could give the title "Chief Executive Officer" to the janitor's dead hamster and have everybody report to a teenager with the title Cokehead Principio whose only job is to keep the board of directors appraised exclusively through interpretive dance. Which is to say, you're fuzzy on it because it's fuzzy. There are no strict rules as to the structure of senior corporate officers.
