They are the CEO.

Do you remember in Harry Potter when Voldemort was being really super mean to the Malfoy’s and you were like, “sucks to be y’all. Prolly shouldn’t have hung out with wizard Nazis.”

Hey! I like the idea of a world where the owner of a one person business can call themselves a CEO. It is the reason that my job title presently has the words ‘Western Regional’ at the front as I am literally the only person at my company who is west of Ontario.

This bothers me most of all and I don’t even know why.

How are you supposed to feel when you see a bigger bully push a smaller bully around?

Yes, that seems likely. Guys like that never own up to anything they did. It was always someone else’s fault.

They need a good name for people who run small businesses. I have this problem, I never write CEO but sometimes write “president”. Founders seems passive (like you founded it but maybe handed it off), and if it’s a non-profit “owner” is incorrect.

My aunt runs her own business and calls herself an owner. She was maybe 7-10 employees at a time.

How can someone have THAT money and THOSE teeth?

AND WHERE DO THEY TEND TO LIVE? IN CITIES WITH URBAN HOUSING CRISESESES. CITIES WITH URBAN HOUSING CRISEES HAVE ACRONYMS, LIKE LA OR NYC OR CHICAGO... CEO IS ALSO AN ACRONYM, WHICH REARRANGED SPELLS “OPEC”, BUT WITHOUT THE “P”. WHO ELSE DOESN’T HAVE PEE? SEA ANEMONES. ANEMONES IS A HOMONYM WITH ENEMY AND CEOS ARE THE…

Slightly OT, but I love when my fb friends who own a small business list their occupation as “CEO”. No, your independent record label that is literally just you and your graphic designer buddy does not have a Board of Directors and you are not a CEO. Owner, Founder, sure. I’ll even accept “President” if that makes…

here’s hoping his doctors are as competent as his cabinet and staff.

I’m with you — I think there’s an outside shot he declares that he’s “fixed” everything, made America great again, etc. after the mid-terms and decides to retire.
