dear vanagoniterites
my stat on CEO was out of date -
a year old article from forbes actually says it is slightly better than 4
times what i had heard in an interview that is already untraceable -
http://www.forbes.com/sites/susanadams/2014/04/11/ceos-staying-in-their-jobs-longer/
the real point is that CEO's get bumped around a lot and the role is often
vacant -
regards
