      Some do. CEO’s of small(ish) companies who are maybe also a founder of that company, are often personally and emotionally invested enough to actually want to work hard. CEO of my company is always running and calling and stressing and working late.

      Granted, that is after they kicked out the greybeards who were just there because they invested some money years ago and were acting like the kind of CEO you were describing.

        Yeah I’m an anticapitalist & socialist, and I have worked with hard working CEOs in small companies. The issue is that their relationship to capital is different, not that all of them are terrible lazy people or something.

        They worked like any other worker, but when the company sold for 10 million dollars, they got a few million dollars, some unseen investors that I literally never met got the majority of it, and I (along with the other workers) got scraps, literally nothing for most of us, and small bonuses for other workers. The CEO didn’t put forward any of their own money, and in the end they were essentially the head of marketing getting compensated equivalent to what we made in a lifetime of working in a single day.

        We don’t need a class of leeches siphoning away the vast majority of the value of our labor. Even if everyone can dream of being a leech themselves, it’s not good for the vast majority of people.
