we have exact proof that ceos are unnecessary. Thanks to luigi. UHC just kept going after they lost their CEO. Nothing fell apart. So why do they get paid so much, huh?

I assume they were immediately replaced by someone else, an interim CEO. Also, CEOs are making long term decisions that are not required for day to day operations but do eventually make a big difference

That's the catch that gets me. If they make a big enough difference to warrant the pay they get, we should hold them responsible for the bad stuff as well.

Like okay UHC guy might not be responsible for every single person who died because of denied insurance, but I feel like at the very least he should be responsible in proportion to the amount of money he makes by being the CEO.

For most CEO's, the pay they get is fractions of a percent of the overall companies money.

Fraction of a percent of thousands of deaths is still a death or two

To clarify for anyone unsure. Killing people is bad, even if it's only 2 or 3.
