Mark Zuckerberg’s approval among some Facebook Inc employees has slipped, dislodging him from Glassdoor’s ranking of the Top 100 CEOs, a list he’s been on annually since 2013.
Zuckerberg put on his game face to convince a skeptical Congress that his company’s ambitious plans for a cryptocurrency will benefit millions of poor and underbanked people around the world, and that the technology behind it should be developed by an American firm or risk being one-upped by China, which doesn’t share the same values as the US.
Worker sentiment on Zuckerberg, as measured by Glassdoor surveys taken by more than 700 Facebook employees between May 2020 and May 2021, declined particularly in the last months of 2020 and early this year, when Facebook was managing the aftermath of the US presidential election and misinformation around the Covid-19 pandemic.
While Zuckerberg still managed a rating of 88%, higher than the average 73% approval rating for CEOs generally, that wasn’t enough for the top 100 list, where Microsoft Corp’s Satya Nadella scores a 97% and Apple Inc’s Tim Cook scores 95%.
