    A Man and his family goes to a out for a high class 4 course meal at the best cook house in town. Its a toss up between two incredible places one on either side of the broad walk. One serves top quality products freshly imported with vegetables and herbs home grown. known for its impeccable service and incredible dedication to surrounding its clients with an top notch security and warmth second only to a grandmas home cooked meals back home. Affordable and always ready to try something exciting and new with a flair for sparing no expense for the entertainment and over all experience of its would be clients.

    The other is a highly reputable place of Impeccable history, with an incredible list of achievements and culinary awards from years of dedication to the excellence of fantastic meals and service. Unfortunately this place relies on its historical achievements ,Service has become drab and slow ,the meals arent quite what they used to be and the lack luster nights of entertainment are at best a tad dry and should be avoided. Yet the boss of this establishment turns a blind eye to the current situation at hand , known for his flamboyance and decor draws them in like flies to a spiders nest. With no new ideals or ideas ,disgruntled underpaid and creatively starved employees and an unchanged menu that has long since lost it " Crowd pulling spice" Clients leave disappointed and as to do the great employees that made this place so great ..The choice become obvious .

    You cant fool all the people all the time. Eventually all the talk fizzles out and it boils down to what you have to offer a hungry public. Obviously Universal has figured out that incredibly simple equation. Happy clients,well payed employees , high quality material and a dedication to the IMPROVEMENT of the Entertainment industry . Its not about controlling the music industry guys.ITS about adapting and servicing a hungry public who deserve to get value for money and quality for the hard earned dollar bill .You gotta pay to play gentlemen.

    WAKE UP !!!     Reply

    Years ago I worked in the music industry and was so disgusted by its cut-throat and blood-sucking attitude that I decided to move into the gaming world. I see things didn't change. They should try to innovate and find new ways to bring music to people, to make it interesting and easily available instead of weeping all the time... Reply

    Hi, this is Tim A from Glassdoor.com.

    @omajinai - the CEO approval ratings actually came from employees who have posted their reviews to Glassdoor. When an employee posts a review of his/her company, we also ask them to rate the performance of their CEO - and from there we can aggregate an overall CEO approval rating.

    And I think what makes Glassdoor different than a poll where the results can be skewed by those that choose to participate, we actually require everyone to participate (whether happily employed or disgruntled). We use a "give-to-get"... model - which means, to see the reviews posted by the community you first need to give us a review of your current or former employer. This model helps ensure we get ratings from a wider cross section of employees, and thus the results are more balanced than a typical poll.

    Hope that helps explain how the ratings work - check it out for yourself at www.glassdoor.com.     Reply

    Citysearch needs some improvements in seems that Yelp may be gaining marketshare and may eventually dominate the space. There's still huge potential for innovation in the space.

    I don't see any recessionary trends, the fiscal results vary depending upon various factors which are not necessarily indicative of recession sometimes have nothing to do with economy. It's not fair to associate the Quarterly financial results of the corporates with recession trends. These results are many a times carrying forward adjustments made in the previous quarters. Reply

    Re: Citi to buy back Auction Rate Securities;
    For folks who bought these through "Smith Barney" as a "Van Kampen" product It would be nice to know if these are included, since Smith Barney seems to be owned by Citi. Thanks     Reply

    Interesting that the company I work for (and have for 10 years) is on the list - yet I've never been approached to rate the CEO.

    I wonder who they got to rate them. I give these types of polls about as much credence as I give to a used car salesman's WORD.

    I would lay good odds that 90% of the people who were asked to respond that were in good standing (still employed/happily employed) with the company probably didn't bother to respond. Yet the 10% that had recently been let go, or were "disgruntled"... made sure that they did. Therefore, the poll numbers are most likely skewed.

    I would like some correlations here--most popular CEOs are those that are in relatively "well to do" in this economy. They are performing reasonably well. The only exception is JPM, which suggests that CEO is really special. I would not think much of the other top 10. Employees are like shareholders--when times are okay, employees have jobs, they think their CEO is doing good job. Reply

    Just some personal experience: Amgen always has been a company people loved to work for. Not only a great pipeline and great stock option evolution but mainly the company culture was a huge asset. Now the CEO (ex GE) thought everyone around him were a bunch of softies and everybody who wants a business career should have been in the navy. Then he hires some xxxxholes from big pharma like Baxter and Merck and you know what you get: an east-coast mentality in a west-coast company. Simply wont work.... Reply

    Last chance to get aboard the Manzana Express. Soon Apple @ $190 will be history!

    As soon as they let out their new hardware upgrades and release the number of iPhones sold.

    IMHO

    AOL and Randy are mentioned at #7 on the worst CEO list. Whoever said AOL wasn't in the article needs to learn how to read. Reply
