Glassdoor's top 100 CEO list excludes Mark Zuckerberg
"According to Glassdoor, the top three positions are held by Rick Lesser of Boston Consulting Group, Shantanu Narayen of Adobe, and Peter Pisters of MD Anderson Cancer Center"
Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO and co-founder of Facebook, has dropped off Glassdoor's list of the top 100 CEOs. This is the first time since 2013 that Mark has not been listed on Glassdoor's list. The ranking is solely dependent on employee approval ratings, which have dropped dramatically in Mark's case.
According to Glassdoor, Rick Lesser of Boston Consulting Group, Shantanu Narayen of Adobe, and Peter Pisters of MD Anderson Cancer Center occupy the top three spots, each having a 99 percent approval rating from employees. Employee approval ratings for the last individual on the list totaled 90 percent.
When it comes to Mark, his ratings have dropped significantly from 2019 to 2021. In 2019, he received a 94 percent approval rating from employees, but by 2021, his approval rating had plummeted to 89 percent, removing him from the top 100 CEOs list.
Zuckerberg, for example, was ranked #1 on Glassdoor's top list in 2013 with a 99 percent approval rating when the company began compiling the list. However, throughout the latter months of 2020 and early 2021, there was a significant drop in ratings.
According to a Bloomberg story, the Glassdoor survey included over 700 Facebook employees.
Because the input is anonymous, no employee who participated in the survey will be held accountable for giving poor evaluations.
“Unlike any other workplace award, the Glassdoor Employees' Choice Awards are determined by anonymous feedback from employees who voluntarily provide anonymous feedback by completing a company review about their CEO's leadership, as well as insights into their job, work environment, and employer over the previous year. The Glassdoor Employees' Choice Awards for Top CEOs this year include unique corporate categories from the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, France, and Germany. Glassdoor has released the Top 50 CEOs in the United Kingdom (honoring CEOs in companies with 1,000 or more employees),” according to Glassdoor.
When an employee submits a review about their employer on Glassdoor, they are asked to assess many characteristics related to their work experience. “These include, among other things, assessing sentiment toward their CEO's leadership and senior management. Employees are asked to rate their CEO on Glassdoor and indicate whether they approve, disagree, or have no opinion on his or her performance.
