A new survey that ranks how well CEOs are liked by their own employees has only one woman among its 50 names, notes Vivian Giang at Business Insider. Sharen Turney of Victoria's Secret is the only one to make it, and only then at No. 42.

In other words, more scary, writes Giang. It's a shame this holds true even in 2013, she adds. "As women become more prominent players in the workplace, perhaps it's time that society shed this idea that women can only be either 'motherly' material or 'scary' career-ambitious females."
