A new survey has revealed some shocking information about employee approvals for their CEOs in the tech space. According to its results, 83 percent of the employees approve of the work Tim Cook is doing as the CEO of Apple. On the other hand, X chief Linda Yaccarino found herself among the lowest-ranked tech CEOs with an approval rating of just 4 percent. That means, only four out of one hundred employees thought of her work as the head of the company as significant or to have a positive impact.
The survey was done by Blind, a social media platform geared towards anonymous verified employees to create a community. It has around 9 million users at present. The survey was done to find the approval rating for 103 CEOs based on employee feedback. The results were formed after 13,171 verified professionals in the US responded to the survey. Each responder was asked one question: “Do you approve or disapprove of the way your CEO is handling their job?”

As per a blog post by Blind, “E-commerce, financial services and tech industry CEOs are among the most popular chief executives in the U.S”.
While the average approval rating for tech CEOs was found to be 32 percent, it also contains the highest-rated CEO as well as one of the lowest-rated ones. Jensen Huang, the CEO of Nvidia had the highest approval rating at 96 percent. This means that nearly every verified Nvidia employee approved of Huang's work as the chief of the company.
Among the tech CEOs, Apple's Tim Cook took the next spot with four out of five employees giving him the thumbs up. Dara Khosrowshahi, CEO of Uber, was also placed at a high spot with 68 percent of employees' approval.
The CEOs of big tech companies, however, did not see a convincing approval rating. Meta's Mark Zuckerberg received 45 percent, while Microsoft's Satya Nadella only got the approval of three out of every ten employees who voted. Google CEO Sundar Pichai and Amazon chief Andy Jassy fared even worse at 26 percent and 10 percent, respectively. However, no tech CEO performed worse than Yaccarino.
According to the survey, one of the factors for the low rating of tech CEOs could be linked to the recent mass layoffs seen in the tech space.

Even my crusty old heart has melted at seeing how much everyone loves Baldur's Gate 3's companion characters—especially the actors who portrayed them. As reported by Polygon, after some reprised their roles for a High Rollers tabletop one-shot, many in the cast have been sharing playlists tailored to their characters.
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth's Vincent Valentine is being voiced by famous voice actor Matthew Christopher Miller, better known as Matt Mercer.
Scrolling through Steam Next Fest - Valve’s digital event celebrating upcoming games - can feel quite overwhelming. Mainly because there’s just so many good demos to chow down on, but also because playing through the hundreds of demos can feel like tonal whiplash. In the past few days, I’ve zoomed between euphoric roguelikes, open-world racers, and punishing LEGO-like apocalypses. But thankfully, the demo for Pioneers Of Pagonia offers a chill getaway for us poor, exhausted souls.
In between playing (andreplaying) Baldur’s Gate 3, you might find yourself wanting to connect with the game’s iconic characters a little more. As it turns out, there’s a very easy way to do that, thanks to the stellar voice cast: some of them made character playlists!
Unity has not been in a lot of indie developer’s good books lately. The controversial new fee caused many to turn their back on the development toolkit and its creator. Following on from this, Unity CEO John Riccitiello has now decided to leave the company.
The most popular game in Steam Next Fest right now is a Valheim-style survival game with Dark Souls-style bosses.
In the last few years, an important part of all the Apple events has been a highlight of what the company has been doing towards reaching its target of making its entire product lineup carbon-neutral by 2030. This year, Apple claimed it reached a part of the way there by making a subset of the Apple Watch Series 9 carbon-neutral. However, some people have also raised a question about whether there is a need to launch a new iPhone every year, considering the climate change issue. Apple CEO Tim Cook was also asked the same question recently in an interview and he explained how he views the situation.
The Apple Vision Pro is certainly the company’s most ambitious product to date, revealing how it envisions the future of mixed reality, but for the majority of consumers, it is too expensive and is cumbersome to have it attached to someone’s head at all times and during the day. Though Apple likely has plans to introduce a pair of AR glasses that will solve all the grievances of current-generation AR headsets, that future will take years to reach fruition, with one report implying that the technology giant’s cancellation of this product was a setback for CEO Tim Cook.
