CEOs are hired by owners/investors for the explicit purpose of maximizing profits. If the CEO were instead, for instance, elected by the workers, or hired by a community cooperative, I think opinions of CEOs would be much higher.
In other words: it’s not the CEO, it’s the system.
If a CEO was elected by thr employees it would be like any other elected official, where it can swing widely from being excellent to awful because large numbers of people are not great at selecting quality leadership. Now a system where an employee elected board selects the CEO and the employees have the power to remove the CEO, that could be pretty solid.
The problem seems to be getting large numbers of people to agree on things. My solution is to simply not have large numbers of people.

This but unironically
People are too short sighted and plainly put, fucking stupid, to govern themselves. That’s why democracy is kind of an inherently unstable system until one group manages to consolidate enough power to ignore the others
Deciding on a restaurant with a few people is easy. Deciding on a restaurant with a few dozen people is fucking impossible.
Humans were not meant to live in societies of more than 150 people. Our brains can’t comprehend a nation of millions, just like we can’t comprehend the vastness of space.
Democracy is bad but still the least worst system. The thing that people seem to ignore the most is that checks and balances are what make it great. A voting public is important but not the only important check on the system.
I can hate both.
The CEO just lets me add a face to the ire.
The juiciest part of market socialism is that when all the employees get a direct share of the business’ profits, they are spontaneously incentivized to work efficiently and minimize waste.
It’s a win-win.
What is this, the rated-PG version? The classic punchline is “but I would never guillotine the janitor”.
Repeating the joke without the right punchline is key to posting on Twitter

Another, spicier version of this same meme:
Same here! The janitor is such a badass, he keeps the whole building ruining and is always around.
The CEO sens like a nice guy, but everytime he’s around, it feels like he’s just trying to get people to wave at him.
Treat janitors with the respect that CEOs want you to treat them with.
The janitor would see the toading as being sarcastic.
I have no respect for CEOs or most c-suite people. I fear them since they are self important douches (most of the time) who i have to walk on pin needles when they are around. They will question minor things like cleanliness or cables not looking pretty when my department has been severely cut and OT is scarce and we rarely have time to manage cables during a panic fix.
Then they will mandate some thing like use so much velcro that it makes my job difficult which doesn’t fix the problem of it takes time and resources like exact length cables to make things look nice.
janitors do work though
I don’t want to behead my janitor though…
