Well your degradation of the entire userbase of the site you're using

I only considered Lemmy to be extremely left leaning; that is not intended to be degrading.

I assume many people in this comment section specifically to be armchair communists (which is intended to sound degrading) but those don't represent Lemmy as a whole.

is very convincing

It wasn't intended to convince you of anything, it was only a simple retaliation for your needless attempt to invalidate my view by simple down/up-vote counting.

Classic conservative alright.

Everyone who disagrees with you on a singular issue (that issue being whether one specific person is fit for their job) is a conservative, yeah.

You must exist in an extremely small bubble.

If you disagree with Lemmings on the whole, leave?

I don't disagree with Lemmings on the whole, and even if I did, I don't mind. I don't need a bubble; I can talk to people I disagree with.

Ultimately most of what you have said is right.

I've worked in business acquisitions and management, and I have a minor in business from MIT Sloan; folks at the top don't need to understand the technical details, they just need to find the best people. When I run teams, I try to make sure I am dumbest person on that team. My purpose there is seeing the bigger picture and managing timelines, not getting into technical details despite my desires to.

Humorously, this whole thread is full of people upset that the CEO doesn't know about great circle paths, but that's not the reason the flight path isn't straight in this case. I'm also a pilot, and aircraft follow ATC directed high altitude routes that generally follow great circle paths over long distances, but tend to be jagged along the way. This is one of my flights from [Boston to DC(https://sh.itjust.works/pictrs/image/ab38ea61-4a85-44d1-a916-b1d8fd44084a.jpeg).

Where I can agree with the vitriol of every commenter, is that this CEO is being very dumb presenting the question to the internet and that along might be a sign they are not fit for the job.

I do wish I could find communities with more even-handed discussion. These ideological hell cages make me never want to comment which hurts Lemmy over all. There just doesn't seem to be nuanced discussion on the internet anymore.

I think there's still plenty of spots for nuanced discussions on the net (including this instance), but you probably won't have much luck finding them in communities dedicated to posting memes.
