I love that you're being down voted by the sarcasm impaired. Or maybe you're being sarcasticly down voted. Either way it's amusing.

> 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.

I suspect they were being sarcastic, perhaps referring to the sometimes overly extravagant lifestyles that some CEOs flaunt.

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

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.
