Glassdoor.com, a website that lets employees anonymously rate and review their employers, has released its list of the nicest and naughtiest CEOs of 2008. The nicest CEO is Genentech's Art Levinson with a 92% approval rating and the least popular CEO is Steve Odland of Office Depot, with a disapproval rating of 80% (why that's even worse than President Bush's!)
What's up with Office Depot? One department manager in Dallas Texas wrote:
“Fire Odland and kill ridiculous programs like ones listed above. Please, Please, Please give this company back to its workers. The corporate office in Delray Beach, FL is asleep at the wheel and frankly incompetent. Maybe If some of them would listen to or maybe even spend a few hours in a store they would understand their own business a little better. This company will fail If you do not get back to basics! Cheap no hassle prices and fast checkout! NO MORE PROGRAMS PLEASE!”

In the city where I live there are Staples, Office Max and Office Depot within 10 minutes drive of each other. Guess which one they recently closed down!
You mean the Congress that the Republicans controlled for 6 years and then lost because they were so creepy??
That Congress?
On the other hand, Steve Odland looks like a tax auditor who actually feels physical pain whenever he smiles; the sort of person you never invite to a party because he sucks the happiness out of everyone around him. He looks almost mechanical.
It will be interesting to see if the newly-elected Democratic majority congress can improve on this record. That's if any of them are left after all the corruption investigations.
Glassdoor.com is interesting, but you must be really motivated to have info : you need to fill up your data, salary, give a review.... I guess the information exchange is interesting to fill up the database, but I BSd all my info to get what I wanted.
What value has the data then?
In the Netherlands we have a saying: 'he laughs like a farmer with a tootache'.
Either that, or the poor guy could have constipation problems. If I am right, I hope for him, and his employees, he gets well soon.
Just two photographs of a moment in time, but interesting differences.
The photographer would have achieved a better result by asking Stevie to laugh.
I love coment about the approval rating of the Dem Congress. LOL and so true. Keep up the good work my friend. I don't know where those liberals get there information, but I'm thinking it might be Scientology. That congress has been in there long enough to get something done but they are to busy covering up there crap. Like interns smoking cigars.
Constant layoffs .... oops, I mean REDUCTIONS IN FORCE. Store employees are treated like dirt and nobody knows what goes on in the stores. Hourly employees are treated like cattle.
Why does the board keep this idiot -- don't the shareholders CARE?
his picture resembles a lizard ready to strike.
Give him some air, please!
