I haven't watched it yet, but suspect Reed Hastings from Qwackster made the list. Of course, the list of the WORST CEO.
Netflix CEO Reed Hasting deserved the Worst CEO in 2011. Mr. Reed and his management should be on every case study in business school.
The top of the list for worst CEO has to be Barack Hussein O'Bama.
I must have missed the first video, if there ever was one! That fuzzy picture on the bottom middle of the worst CEO's looks like Antonio Perez of the Eastman Kodak Company! Trading at 82 cents a share, he deserves to be in that box. He's been CEO for the last nine years with nothing to show for this company! I guess the White House beer parties didn't pan out for him! After canning over thirty thousand jobs in Rochester, NY, Guess what? He's been appointed by Barack Obama to be the new chairman of the National Jobs Creationist!
My FAVORITE WORST CEO: CEO GE.
Why do you ask ? He is Mr. Obama's Jobs Czar and leads the pack in shipping jobs OVERSEAS, especially to CHINA.
Wait a minute....GE will probably get Government funding to find a way to turn your electronic gadgets off in your vehicle while YOU DRIVE and the jobs will be OUTSOURCED TO......you guessed it......CHINA.
The worst CEO'S of 2011 are still laughing all the way to the bank regardless of the dismal return to company stockholders.
Something tells me that this discussion isn't doing to cure cancer..........While on the subject: Nothing will because there isn't any money in a cure. 99.9 % of these CEO's are beyond description, if not 100%. Talk about the fleecing of America. Most of them should be put up against the wall. If not 100%.
Oh my goodness! These are the type of moronic comments that lead me to believe there's no hope left for America!!!
Best and worst? How about this..they all suck! Happy Holidays you greedy M#%^$#F$%&ERS.
No doubt GE's Jeffie-boy Immelt - Obama's buddie would give all to the CHICOMS. Just one example how rotten a company they are:
From SnopesDOTcom
General Electric is moving its x-ray division from Wisconsin to China?
TRUE
Give credit where real credit is do. Former and retired CEO Jack Welch modled the outsourcing many of these CEO's are using.
All planned out. In early 1970’s both political parties endorsed and released “Workforce 2000” plans starting with the Fortune 500 companies. Workforce 2000 and NAFTA is Americas contribution to the new global economy. Jack Welch, then CEO of GE designed the model and the rest of the big leaguers followed in his foot steps. I remember it well working for a large aerospace company in So. Cal.
We attended a four hour presentation on how America was going to change. We were to become a service oriented country. How labor intensive work was going to be out sourced. How Chinas average pay scale was a whopping .35 cents per day. The man hours it took us to build one large airplane would be an equivalent cost to the most expensive BMW motorcar. Were all our stock holder excited. The Demographics of America were also explained. Guess what? The Hispanic communities was going to be the major population in the LA basin area. That’s right. See where we are today. All part of the plan and don’t forget, all endorsed by both political parties. Then the whipshooding began. Jack Welch implemented a theme called, “Keeping the Ideas Coming”. Ref. March Fortune 500 article. With the threat, or inevitable loss of our jobs, he started a manipulation cooptation strategy to pick the employees brains and make them think they could compete and save their jobs/asses. The CEO’s, corporate leaders and politicians are raking in all the benefits.
So when I hear and read about this new economy BS, remember our government has it all under control. The part I have trouble with is if people are not working and or making half of what they use to make, income tax revenue will drop as well. How dose a tax system expect to sustain and pay for basic services, afford a healthcare program and frequent handouts to the world in trouble?
In 1992 United Auto Workers union, (UAW) predicted that only 4% of the American workers will be represented by a union. Police, fire services and a few more government jobs will be represented to show the world America is still labor friendly.
As Americans Change so to speak and our earning power diminishes Americans will eventually take what they can get. Just like other third world counties did. Its Americas turn to become the stepchild.
And now Obama is bringing in Jeffrey Immelt CEO from GE. Immelt cut his teeth under Jack Welch and Harry Stonesypher. GE was the model corporation which has led to American’s loosing their jobs. Amazing how everything predicted is coming to pass.
Wal-Mart has become the new commissary to America.
At a boy Jack! Hope your enjoying your golden years. Merry Christmas.
100 percent spot on.
CEO = lying, cheating, selfish, narcissistic, greedy, dismissive, self-important, miserly unconscionable thief.
Try this one on, as NBC etc. is owned by MR. Dickhead below.
Comcast Owner : Brian L. Roberts
His junk advertising spews all over the OTA channels, as well as my getting his.....
TO: OUR Neighbor @ your home address and town.... junk mail weekly.
Sign up today for a GREAT RATE ! (6 month promotional gag ) For local TV !
Basic Service: That's why I have an antenna on my roof. Why do I need these clowns?
Call us today: My cable was put in years ago, but another $150 dollar installation fee for whats already there?
Door Knocker's: Some guy came to our door to tell us that we were illegally connected to the cable system. This changed when I showed Habib the exact spot where the cable was cut / terminated into our house. He got all flustered, but gave us his card IF we changed our minds.
If Comcast just stopped their BS with these kinds of things to get new customers, which would probably lower the monthly cost, I might think about it.
Until then....... More junk to recycle!
Brian L. Roberts needs at least a trophy for trying in the bamboozle catagory!
IN MY BOOKS AND THEY ARE NOT COOKED BOOKS!!!! AS WE SEE TODAY IN CORPORATE AMERICA!!!
Every Single CEO and any C's are not worthy of being the best or worst.
THEY SHOULD NOT EVEN EXIST!!! PERIOD! It should be a DEPARTMENT FINANCE ONLY! The ones that should be around the so called boardroom (ROUND) table are every single MGR of any and all DEPARTMENTS created. They are DIRECTLY responsible and COMMUNICATE to the SHAREHOLDERS!!!
NOT THE SELECTED FEW??? They should be a DEPARTMENT like the rest of the COMPANY?.
CORPORATE AMERICA should be COOPERATION AMERICA. The SMOKESTACK, and Early MODERN POLICIES that used to be DICTATED and run is OLD and ALL USED UP. It should no longer be a single LADDER but 2 LADDERS and one going across both LADDERS.
Video was unclear and it only covered a part of the entire list. The editor of this piece of fluff should get worst editor award
Why not just list the best and worst? Really?

On February 29, 2009 President Obama signed the first Bill after taking office--Lily Ledbetter Act, something and a lot to do with equality of pay. On February 16, 2001, President George W Bush signed the first bill House Joint Resolution 7 honoring former fellow Republican President .....Reagan. I watch on TV the kind of bills this current President signs; I am neither Democrat nor Republican. All I can say is that his actions show his deep concern is for folks just like you and me times and times.
Verizon CEO McAdams should be on the top of the list for worst all time ceo
Toss up between Hastings vs. Corzine
