I'm actually leaving my current company because our current PM and CEO aren't big enough assholes. I brought up a problem that can be partially fixed right now with small technical debt that can be rolled back but has a big impact on the customer. One said no and the other doesn't care enough to push the PM. The apathy, lack of aggressiveness and drive annoy me. The CEO also is unwilling to hold 2 unproductive employees accountable for frankly doing little/nothing. I'm sick of feeling like one of the few to care about the product and mission. I love this field too much to deliver poor products and results.

I would categorize their lack of action as "dereliction of duty", not "aren't big enough assholes". It is their responsibility to deal with apathy
There is a huge difference between decisiveness and aggressiveness. There is no need at all to be an asshole in order to make good decisions.
