Guess Who Are the Most Loved/Hated Tech CEOs
Two thirds of HP must be a little happier now.
Mark Hurd was last month shown the door out as he resigned as CEO of HP amidst a sexual harassment investigation.
If the ratings from Glassdoor.com – a site where a company's employees may rate their employer – are to be believed, the vast majority of HP workers disapproved of Hurd. In fact, Hurd had the lowest approval rating of any major tech CEO at just 34 percent.
Not surprisingly, the leader by considerable margin in terms of employee approval was Steve Jobs, who had the 98 percent of Apple's respondent workforce behind him.
Intel CEO Paul Otellini was also much approved, at 82 percent. Right behind him was Cisco CEO John Chambers at 81 percent and then Oracle's Larry Ellison at 78 percent.
Near the split was Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer with 52 percent approval, as well as Michael Dell at 51 percent. Yahoo's CEO Carol Bartz also held the small majority at 56 percent.

Steve jobs is ridiculously high on that chart considering he is Big Brother.

Every company on that list make/do something useful apart from Apple. They jus make shiney things that joe blogs will buy. Simple Joe Blogs = Steve Jobs haha

It's not a public vote though is it.

Foxconn employees aren't Apple employees so they didn't vote.
You're all forgetting the FEAR that's installed in Apple's workforce. Look at what they do to employees who lose iPhones or divulge information - they're treated like members of the North Korean secret service. You're damn right I'd vote I approve of Jobs if I work at Apple - especially if the machine I visit the website on is a Mac!!
In other news today, apple fired 2% of its employees for unknown reasons. XD

Apple Employee's get FEAR installed for them? Thats an awesome game, count me in!
makes me laugh, customers like apple pruducts, the employees like working for apple, yet a lot of people on here still hate apple, they must be doing somthing right wether apple hates like it or not, there stuff sells.
98% approval is just plain odd. The last time i saw approval ratings like that were for dictators like Kim Jung Il and Saddam Hussein. Something is up if you ask me.
