Contrary to popular belief, CEOs aren’t necessary for a company to run, but they do maximize the profits while they’re there
I think the situation is quite the opposite. There is now an opening and I bet several people see this as an opportunity at advancement.

No, someone is jumping for joy at the promotion.
