    When was the last time a CEO was held personally responsible for a workers safety or the death of an employee?

    A CEO answers to the shareholders or a board of directors and do not concern themselves with their employees livelihoods or maintaining stores.

    They may very well provide a valuable service to a company but not for the reasons you mention.

      So they aren’t responsible for making sure stores stay profitable enough to stay open, providing a job for people? Because that’s exactly what I said.

        The jobs would be needed and would exist whether there’s a CEO or not. It’s not as if people wouldn’t want food if the CEO of McDonald’s went away.
