So I work for a large bank in the United States. Me and my coworkers always joke that whenever something bad or inconvenient happens it’s the CEOs fault. Though it’s just a running joke it got me thinking, on a day to day basis what does a CEO actually do? I get the “Chief Executive Officer” nomenclature means they more than likely make executive decisions but what does that look like? Are they at their desk signing papers all day? Death by meeting?
Edit: Holy crap thanks for all the answers I feel like this sub always pulls through when I have a weird question. Thanks guys!

Think of it like this: how do you know what to do at your job? The answer: your boss tells you what they’re paying you for. So how does your boss know? Their boss knows. But how does the person at the top know? They don’t. They make it up. That’s what the CEO does. They make up what everyone else’s jobs are.
