Worst part of being CEO ?? -Really

Intel CEO Brian Krzanich has led the company through some roller coaster times.

He's navigating a declining PC market and admitting Intel missed mobile. He conducted layoffs, did a $16.7 billion acquisition of Altera, and got Intel into new markets like virtual reality and drones.

Along the way, he's also massively changed Intel's culture, bringing in more managers from outside Intel, and a commitment to diversity of having a workforce that fully represents the US population by 2020.

But when Fortune's Adam Lashinsky asked Krzanich the worst part of being CEO, Krzanich didn't even miss a beat.

It's the wardrobe.

"When I ran all of Intel’s manufacturing, I lived in Arizona. I came ot work everyday in shorts and a T-shirt," he said in an interview on stage at Fortune's Brainstorm conference in Aspen, Colorado.

It is called deflecting the real questions. Sort of like the standard interview copout: I tend to work too hard, when asked about weaknesses. Or, perfection is my weak point.

Since he has changed everything else, why not change the dress code for executives also? Why does he fear doing this?

Stupid azz BK

Maybe that's what he was mad about @ufj.

Clown attire suits BK.

The worst part is that he's in over his head and worse, the BoD are doing nothing about it.

actually I agree with him. Lack of dress code was one of the biggest perks working at intel. I am not being sarcastic.

Really, worrying about clothes how sorry is that!

Thank you, timekeeper. We still wanted to comment.

that's very old news now.

He is truly an idiot.

awwww... poor CEO has to wear pants and real shoes. Makes you almost feel sorry for him, don't it?
