Elon Musk is the most inspiring boss, according to those not working for him.
In a new survey conducted by tech recruitment site Hired this summer, Musk was voted as “the most inspiring leader in tech” by over 3,600 tech workers in North America and Europe, topping Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg and other tech moguls.
Musk’s approval rate by his own employees doesn’t seem so glowing. In June, a CEO ranking by job site Glassdoor based on employee reviews found no place for Musk in the top 100. He was No. 49 on the same list last year and No. 8 in 2017. Long work hours, low pay and poor management were three common complaints shared by those working at SpaceX and Tesla.
