Why CEOs Are Quitting In Record Numbers In 2023

Published

on



American CEOs are leaving their posts in record numbers in 2023.

While the “Great Resignation” may be over, it’s just beginning for CEOs, according to research by Challenger, Gray and Christmas. The firm found that more than 1,500 CEOs have left their posts so far in 2023, marking the highest number of departures since Challenger began tracking the data in 2002.

“There are at least four reasons why we’ve seen an uptick in CEO turnover over the past few months,” said Alexander Kirss, senior principal of research at Gartner. “Those would be delayed CEO retirement, CEO burnout, concerns about CEO underperformance. And then finally, high-performing CEOs who are taking this opportunity to level up to a more attractive opportunity.”

During times of unforeseen volatility such as the Covid-19 pandemic, companies typically keep their CEOs to help navigate through those times. However, when the economic environment normalizes, the board of directors’ appetite for risks returns. The search for new leadership begins from there.

For CEOs, the stress from heading a company during the pandemic is now exacerbated by headwinds from rising geopolitical tensions, lingering inflation and the possibility of a recession.

These trends not only affect CEOs, but they can also lead to cost cutting, hiring freezes and layoffs — all of which affect employees at every level.

Watch the video above to find out more about why American CEOs are leaving their posts and what these changes could mean for employees at every level.

    The CEO’s leveraged their companies during COVID and now the roosters coming home to Roost. They can now point the finger at the CEO and say we did something about it, he’s gone, we have new leadership now.

    Most are CEO's "Imposters" who possess Egos only matched by their deep seated insecurities. Many possess the Ivy League Educational Cred & are well versed CEO Speak/Lingo, Flexing it downward to subordinates. Invariably, they are followed by overly optimistic expectations. Few intimately know the businesses they "Run" from the Ivory Towers, nor have spent time in the trenches. yet are presumed to comprehend the granular aspect of the organism. Imagine that!

    The CEO position is the only positions I know of that will hand you a year's salary when they fire you. Let the average worker at one of these warehouse, hospitality, or food service jobs get fired tomorrow, their job ain't handing them a $20,000-$30,000 paycheck. And you can be fired for some pretty insidious reasons, such as needing "too much" time off work to recoup from a horrible illness you contracted due in part to being overworked. But would that employer, having made thousands to millions of dollars off of your labor, hand you a severance package involving you getting a year's worth of pay on the end of your employment?

    Nope! And they'll have every reason in the world why they feel you don't deserve it. But let you be a disgrace CEO who got fired because of some serious business, or even personal matters that you committed to other individuals or to the company while you were there, and they will still pay you upwards of 14 million for you to be fired. I wish somebody would have me 14 million dollars to get fired. But these companies and powers that be, of course, don't see anything wrong with that.

    CEO pay is high because if it weren’t, what is the incentive to make multi billion dollar decisions for the benefit of the company instead of themselves?

    Why the heck are the regular employee's not getting a major cut of the $16.7M that the CEO's get paid? This is insane. No person deserves to be paid more than $1M a year nor less than $50K. Level the playing field for god sakes.

    DEI is the main reason we are seeing CEO's go. Just read the headlines.

  23. @User-pu3lc

    January 17, 2024 at 11:45 am

    CEO turnover is so high because a big recession is about to hit and it’s convenient for new CEO’s to “blame” the outgoing leadership for the company’s current position to both investors and employees as they are fired. Outgoing CEO’s are given a large pay package and/or given enough time to find a new role before this messaging hits.

    It’s called “taking a bath” and is a common, well documented phenomenon in publicly traded company’s stock prices around CEO changes.

    The supreme Court ruled that "a publicly traded companies primary responsibility is to it's shareholders"

    Effectively making it illegal for stock to go down or stay stagnant in pursuit of sustainability, increasing worker pay, safety conditions etc.

    Around age 45 I lost interest in the BS working in an office and the stupidness I encountered daily.
    10 years later I never looked back. Worked alot of different jobs since then. Give me $15 a hour and some friendly people to work with…. This isn't hard and makes me happier !
    I knew it was time to leave the office environment when I thought to myself "If I hear one more acronym I'm peeing on someone's feet" !

    All it shows is that the shareholders have become so greedy that even CEO’s are not safe anymore.

    January 17, 2024 at 11:45 am

    they had massive ceo exits just before the pandemic, literally 2 months before in january 2020 they were leaving in droves. they all knew what was coming, they know the next shoe is about to drop. same thing with buffet exiting all of his positions, they are going to let someone else hold the hot potato while they step out and wait it out, they have plenty of money to just sit back.

    All employees, really. Do you really mean the top levels of management not the person stacking shelves in the supermarket.

Meta Is Facing Its Biggest Trial Yet, And Its Future Hangs In The Balance

Published

on

By



Meta is facing what could be its most consequential trial yet, as 29 state attorneys general accuse the tech giant of knowingly designing Facebook and Instagram to addict children and misleading the public about the risks. The states are seeking civil penalties that could approach $200 billion and changes to core features like infinite scroll and autoplay, while Meta says the claims are unsubstantiated and that it has built strong protections for teens. The outcome of the federal trial could reshape how social media platforms are designed and open the door to greater liability for companies across the industry. CNBC’s Julia Boorstin examines why this case could become Big Tech’s “Big Tobacco” moment, and what a loss could mean for Meta’s business and the future of social media.
