> I feel bad for the CEOs.

I don't. They know exactly what they're getting into when the take the top role and frankly? They get away with a lot of stuff they shouldn't.

I feel bad for all the lives negatively impacted by the leadership at companies.

It's so hard to tell on HN. A lot here will do anything to defend leadership.

[subtra3t]

That's fair.

Some much this. If executives were held accountable and terminated for performance failures resulting in layoffs rather than rewarded with earnings bonuses I would feel more sympathy.
