Yeah I'm not sure people with compensation well into the millions get to go "haha, sorry, still figuring this out!"
Cool, can we pay you intern wages then?
[EDIT] To make this a bit more substantive: I think this is a sign both that we need to stop with this whole professional-managerial-class horse-shit, promote people who know how to do the actual work of the business, and reduce exec wages because the job's simply not all that damn special and the comp shouldn't be so high that only godlike-perfect performance could possibly justify it, because in truth nobody's that good at it.
Step one of this would be reducing M&A activity (hellooooo antitrust enforcement) and reigning in the power of finance, since letting Wall Street suits put their HBS frat brothers in charge of everything is at the heart of why this stuff's how it is.
Preach! The job is straightforward - lot of these decisions they make are very clearly articulated by LLMs. We need more businesses, more competition, not bigger businesses.
Why?
> who also didn't learn from experience of going through layoffs
That's actually a valid point. We don't commonly fire normal employees for mistakes. The counterargument is CEOs aren't normal employees.
