Lawrence Probst Takes Forbes Readers’ Abuse

Lawrence Probst of Electronic Arts was rated the most unpopular CEO with a scant 6 percent approval rating in a Forbes.com monthly CEO Approval Tracker column. The survey asks readers to judge the job performance of chief executives across 13 industries over the last three months, and software and airline CEOs fared the worst. Larry Ellison of Oracle and PeopleSoft’s Craig Conway rounded out the list of CEOs in the software sector not meeting their job performance image.
