Have you ever wondered how popular your CEO is? Inspired by Gallup’s presidential approval rating poll, we calculated and indexed approval ratings for 103 CEOs from an in-app Blind survey of 13,171 verified professionals in the U.S. The most significant factors for employee satisfaction seemed to be whether the company’s share price or valuation had increased this year and if the CEO had avoided layoffs. Chief executives with the lowest approval ratings had cut pay or bonuses, gotten stricter with returning to the office or laid off employees. Here’s a preview of the CEOs with the best and worst approval ratings, according to employees at each company. Check out more on the Blind blog: https://www.teamblind.com/blog/most-popular-ceo-approval-rating-2023/ CEOs WITH THE HIGHEST APPROVAL RATING AMONG EMPLOYEES 1.

[India]You are dumb to think Tech people earn more than Govt employees these days
The general trend is if the company is making money, CEO approval is higher than companies that don't. It's all about money.
Yeah "making money" is kind of the most important thing a CEO does. Everything else is just an input to that goal.
And then we blame them for being "evil corporations" when the CEO is incentivized to achieve that goal by the very same people working and investing in those companies.
