If he wants to run the company into the ground it is a cake job. If he wants to recover the company to the glory days of making things that capture the imagination of the world he has a hard job.

The salary of a CEO would be nice but I wouldn't want the jobs. CEOs tend to be workaholics with a poor family life. Even the bad ones spend a lot of time working.

You may be right, because there are rare cases, but I find it unlikely. Not many human beings go into life aiming to just rip people off and not achieve anything, or aiming to fail at a lot. Especially someone who becomes the CEO of a huge corporation. You have to be quite drive to succeed, not just at your bank balance, to get there. You don’t become CEO of boeing overnight, it probably took a lot of work.

I doubt the CEO feels all that good about life right now.

And even if you are right, that fact that you’d want the same says a lot about you.

Correction, he can blame most things on the previous leadership. He can blame everything else on the coronavirus.
