 It boggles my mind how much tech CEOs get paid to completely ruin a company. Every time someone tries to claim that they get paid the big bucks because “competition” and “global talent pool” I’m like dude, a blind ferret could do the job better than most of these muppets. It’s just a bunch of mates that all go to the same parties and hire each other despite their total incompetence at doing the job they should be doing 
 @36209ee4 Former recruiter here… it’s not just the tech companies. CEO jobs are largely gotten by who you know; who you golf with; who you drink with. Women execs who don’t join the men on the greens or in the bars are at severe disadvantages because the decision makers don’t know them very well.
