    Edit: I misread that, but in my defense, I do not gender corporations and refer to them as they/them.

    Maybe. As the only other chief officer, it was already her responsibility to step up in an emergency. Appointing her interim CEO just makes her the official placeholder. Also, we all know this AI bubble is unsustainable, and Nvidia is holding a lot of it together, so the market could crash, regardless of what she does. She’s been put at least a bit on a glass cliff.

    “The glass cliff is a phenomenon described by psychologists Michelle K. Ryan and Alexander Haslam, in which women are more likely to break the “glass ceiling” (i.e. achieve leadership roles in business and government) during periods of crisis or downturn when the risk of failure is highest.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glass_cliff








  • It’s not just homes. I was working at a place when it moved to a newly built office. Plagued with dumb mistakes. Most striking was when we got into summer. First really humid day, AC stopped, wouldn’t turn back on, and then we realized water was seeping from the ceiling in the bathroom. Room was drenched. Turns out, the original building plan was for AC to use a water drain, but the building or fire inspector said it needed to be pumped. The builder did order a pump installed, but because it wasn’t in the plans, no electrical was built for it, so it was never plugged in. Just blatantly sloppy.

    Between that and the condition of friends’ new homes we’d seen, we bought an older home, which has its own problems from age and previous owner workarounds, but we know any hidden and/or structural builder errors are long revealed.
