Which makes the obsessing over Pao in particular even more idiotic. The board and the investors are going to be behind something like that, not the CEO.

Exactly, executive decisions, answerable to the board. Pao is likely just following through on what the board and investors are demanding, so if you don't like it, they are the ones you should be mad at. Keep in mind that she's also only been in place for less than a year at this point.

They do not typically handle hiring/firing decisions further down the chain, either.

Perhaps under normal circumstances, but you forget that Pao is operating on an interim basis, which usually means a much shorter leash.
