We don't actually know if that's what happened, this is based on a potentially disgruntled opinion of a former CEO.
Secondly, "Dive under the bus to cover up bad decisions of coworkers too cowardly to own them." is almost the precise definition of what the CEO role is. You represent the whole company for better or worse. You are the face of the company.
- Avenger42 11y agoWhy wouldn't it be "fire employees whose bad decisions are reflecting badly on the company, even if those employees are also on the board of directors"?
- exstudent2 11y agoThat's certainly one of their tasks. Pao didn't execute on that though.

Yes it is, although sometimes the COO plays a large part in internally managing that. I'm not sure how Reddit is structured. The CEO being the face of the company is always part of the job though.
