    It doesn’t matter if the CEO was an engineer or not in a previous life. The job of a CEO doesn’t change and he did exactly what he was supposed to do: made shortsighted decisions that maximised profit and took the fall for it when the short-sightedness of those decisions blew up in their faces.

        Lemmy’s got a Reddit-like problem where if you make a loud, confident, and of course flippant comment, you’re far more likely to be rewarded regardless of whether or not what you said is accurate or contributes meaningfully.

        Honestly, this is an issue on most forums. Pretty much the only place I don’t see that behavior is the discord servers I hang out in.

        That doesn’t change what I said. He did exactly what all boards expect their CEOs to do nowadays. No board of directors expects their CEO to have actual product knowledge.
