It is going to be a year. This year, the executives of well -known global companies in the world have made news endlessly. Some stories are embarrassing, and some can only be described as weird.
Although some CEOs seem to enjoy the life under the spotlight. For example, Musk is a leader, but some people are forced to accept social media.
The following is some of the most striking management errors this year:
"Most Musk" moment
In all the dazzling Musk moments this year, the most peak was the most extremely peak. He spoke at the New York Times Dealbook summit.Let them "roll aside".He even ordered the name of Disney CEO Bob Iger.Because Musk supported an anti -Semitic post in November, many companies, including Disney, kept a distance from him.

Billionaires are about "cage fighting"
In June, Musk publicly played the book of Zuckerberg. He posted on X and said, "If he is interested, I am willing to come to a cage."Prior to this, there was news that the Meta plan founded by Zuckerberg plans to release the social media platform Threads.
Zuckerberg, who had practiced Brazilian Jiu -Jitsu, happily agreed to the contract.In August, Musk proposed that the two would come to Las Vegas to show off, but later he said that the real location was the ancient Roman beasts, but it was quickly denied by the Italian Cultural Minister.A few weeks later, Musk began to make excuses to withdraw, and he said that he might have to perform surgery because of the problem of neck/back/shoulder.In the end, Zuckerberg said that Musk was blunt, "It's time to look forward."
Openai Gong Dou
OPENAI CEO Sam Altman has experienced the sudden dismissal and re -employment of the board of directors on a long weekend.The whole thing is very weird, and some dramatic events are staged directly in social media.Under the pressure of anger investors and almost all employees' threatening resignation, the board of directors raised the white flag.
On the occasion of the rumors that he might return, Altman posted a photo of his own visit to the visiting card at the San Francisco office, with a text at the same time.this".The most interesting reversal is that Ilya Sutskever, the co -founder and chief scientist of Altman, then turned the gun head and promised to "do everything possible" to re -unite the company.Altman responded with three love.

UAW's smart PR team seized the opponent's mistakes and made an article.Several social media accounts that support unions have released videos and photos of Stewart with sunglasses with sunglasses on the beach.At the next labor negotiation meeting, Stewart finally arrived in person.
Don't stay in "City of Complaining"
Office furniture manufacturer Millerknoll Inc. CEO Andi Owen criticized employees not to stare at the end of the year's end of the year.She said, "Please use your time and energy to think about how to earn $ 26 million (about S $ 343.1 billion), not what you can do if you can't get the bonus. My boss had told me before,You can complain and sad, but you can't stay in that emotion forever, so everyone leaves the "city of complaining '."
According to a person familiar with the matter, Owen sent an email to the employee and met the company's managers.Millerknoll spokesman Kris Marubio stated in an email statement that "Andi has a firm confidence in the team and the achievements we can achieve together, and will not be shaken by a video of only 90 seconds in social media."
Conference room massage
In October this year, Tony Fernandes, co -founder and executive of AirAsia, posted a photo of his naked sitting on the conference room table to enjoy massage on the table table.He wrote, "I fell in love with the culture of Indonesia and AirAsia, and I could do massage when I opened an executive meeting."His followers quickly voiced. Some people commented that as an executive, they actually enjoyed personal physical care when they fulfilled their management duties. This is an inappropriate approach.Others say that the female employees of AirAsia should not feel safe or comfortable about this working environment. "If you are a big boss, they are likely to dare not challenge you or say anything."
Fernandes later said that he had just flew for 18 hours. He felt sore in his body. Massage was a suggestion made by employees in Indonesia.He deleted the post on Lingying and apologized, "I have no intention to offend anyone."
The secret office relationship

Looney said in the resignation statement that he was proud of his achievements when he served as CEO, but was disappointed with the way to deal with this situation.BP cannot prohibit executive's office relationship.A spokesman for the company said that the new temporary CEO Murray AUchincloss also had a relationship with a colleague, but had previously disclosed the company.
Private plane avoids congestion
United Airlines canceled 751 flights within a day in June, more than any other airlines, and it was the most affected by Denver's hub airport.However, the company's chief executive, Scott Kirby, flew from Tate Poto Airport, New Jersey to Denver that day, and perfectly avoided congestion.He had to apologize to the matter.
"Take a private jet is a wrong decision, because this shows that I don't care about the situation of the client waiting for home," Kirby said in an email statement."I sincerely apologize to our customers and team members who worked day -to -day work."
abandon the salary without door
Greg Becker, CEO of the former Silicon Valley Bank, refused to make a commitment to abandon $ 10 million after closing in March.Members of Congress pointed out that the closure of Silicon Valley Bank has lost billions of dollars in the government's basic deposit insurance fund, and other banks have to be invested to supplement.
Although it has become the first target of its own criticism, Becker told the Senate Banking Committee, resulting inThe fundamental reason for bankruptcy is not bad management, but an unprecedented continuous interest rate hike and negative reports of social media.Although members have repeatedly urged, Becker said that he will cooperate with the regulatory agency's evaluation of salary, but he will not promise to give up any remuneration.
Digital detox before layoff
Before the large -scale layoffs of about 8,000 people, Marc Benioff, CEO of Salesforce, said he spent 10 days a "digital detoxification" in French Polyini.The so -called digital detoxification is to abandon mobile phones or computers for a period of time, feel the present, and reduce dependence on technology and social media.
Benioff said in a letter to the employee at the time that the company hired too many people during the epidemic, and he was responsible for it.But it seems that Benioff is also a bit forgetful. He was late at a meeting the next day after the layoffs, and joked, "Did I miss something?"Some people think that the company is often merciless when the company is Ohana (Hawaii, referring to the "family"), which is ridiculous when the Benioff is laid off on the mouth, which makes people feel irony.
