You conveniently left out the next sentence:
Additional research has indicated that women and other minorities view risky job offers as the only chance they are likely to get.
If you’re in the C-suite, you know enough to make an informed decision. And that boards always look for a pliant CEO.
And if you don’t know those things, why are you in the C-suite?
They aren’t scooping people up off the street and making them CEOs.
The idea of a “glass cliff” (referencing the glass ceiling) strongly implies that this promotion isn’t voluntary, and that there is some malevolence in the promotion, or at least some unfairness.
If the company is in obvious distress… don’t the candidates know better? Can’t they say “no” if it’s a rotten deal?

He loves a good double giraffe jerk.
Are these people not allowed to say no to holding the bag?

A founder-engineer driven company. Facebook is one of the few Big Tech firms whose founder is an engineer, and still is the CEO. Netflix is the other one where founder and co-CEO Reed Hastings was also a software engineer before starting the company.

Engineers.
Google was started by Stanford engineers.
Zuck is an engineering drop-out. I doubt he’s written a line of code in a decade.
Is the author trying to be wrong about everything?

No.
It’s not up to me to prove that AI is bad. It’s up to others to prove that it’s good.
Uh oh.
Because economists aren’t scientists — they’re propagandists for the rich.
Some with pools!
Take a bottle of water. Drink 1/4 of it. Leave the cap off. Freeze it. Put the cap back on. Carry it with you when you walk.
You know. To stay cool. Or maybe drink. Definitely don’t throw the bottle of frozen water at any cars that attempt to kill you.
