Are you really suggesting an assembly line worker could do the job of Apple's CEO?

View on HN

We're saying literally anyone could do the job of Apple's CEO.

I'm saying they could do it better than their pay ratio currently suggests. Being a CEO is not that hard.

> Being a CEO is not that hard.

Being an extraordinary CEO is very difficult.

So is being an extraordinary assembly line worker

Yeah, it takes grit to exploit people left and right, all day everyday. Most people aren't cut out for that amount of evil...

Ironically I want to be a CEO but of a worker-coop that has a cap on pay, union-built in, and flat management style... read: ethical CEO.

Are you speaking from experience or have you never actually run a multi-trillion dollar company and you're simply making assumptions?

No one on here is speaking from experience. Are you expecting only replies from multi trillion dollar company CEOs? Let's try to keep the gatekeeping down. Pretending only multi-trillion dollar company CEOs opinions are the only ones that count is dishonest.

No I don't think he is the CEO of a multi trillion dollar firm, hence why I find his absolute statement about the simplicity of such an occupation peculiar.
