Let's be real: Being a CEO sucks right now.
But 2023 has brought a level of scrutiny that makes being a CEO today a nightmare for even the toughest leader.
CNN's former chief Chris Licht stepped down on Wednesday after less than a year, following intense criticism from inside and outside his newsroom.
Meme stock company GameStop fired its CEO Matthew Furlong on the same day as Licht, also after a short tenure.
At the low point of a boom-and-bust cycle where high interest rates and high expectations reign supreme, being a CEO sucks.
