I trust my boss but his boss is the CEO and I think the CEO is a piece of garbage.

an overpaid piece of garbage

Given that no one noticed he went on vacation for three weeks I agree.

To be honest that sounds like a CEO that trusts the workers, if he's letting you guys do the f you want. Unless i misunderstood and somehow he still manages to f stuff up for you.

Maybe I just don't really like being told what to do so I am being unfair to the guy. You do have a point.

But i agree that it's basically a useless role anyway, and it's paid 10-50x the average salary
