AMD's CEO has a 0% approval rate

Valleywag browsed Glassdoor - a site that lets employees review their employer - to compile a list of the 10 worst-rated CEOs in the tech industry. You can check it out over here. Steve Jobs has one of the highest ratings while AMD's CEO Hector Ruiz has a 0% approval rate. Here's a comment from an AMD employee about AMD's management:
AMD needs to go back to basics. What business is AMD in, who do you need onboard to lead the company in that business, who do you need that can create demand for the product, and what do the customers want? Ignore the "how" and focus on the "who." Stop treating employees like costs and more like assets. Threatening cubical hoteling and pushing the "do more with less" story is oppressive, not inspiring. The most marketable talent will leave first.
