> "he (was) the most technically competent CEO of the last few bad apples at Intel, but he was also among the shortest"

Is this article suggesting that Pat Gelsinger may have lost his job in part because he's shorter compared to other typical "CEO types"? Are we still subconsciously judging people based on their height in 2024? Sad if true, and if not true, then it's an odd thing for the article to point out.

(Bezos is pretty short too, isn't he?)



I’m going to go with shortest as in length of time he was in the job.


Is this a joke?

He's talking about the length of his tenure.


The word “tenure” was left out. It took me a second to guess that.


I think this was a typo. He had the shortest tenure at 5 years. He wasn't the physically shortest guy.

Intel greatest ceo Andy Grove may not have been particularly tall... spent his childhood as a malnourished holocaust survivor
