Genuinely out of curiosity here: what does a CEO of a company this big do in their day-to-day work? I can picture what a developer, a designer, a project manager, a writer, a QA tester, a marketer might do... But have absolutely no concept of what a CEO does here.

Nothing. Even the most boot licking sycophants point out most of a CEO's day is just pointless meetings that don't need to happen. Occasionally a crisis comes up and a CEO will have to do something, or the odd CEO will give themselves actual duties, but that's not a day to day thing.

As much as I want to agree with you, and for as much cynicism and general dislike I have towards manager-types... I find it hard to believe these freaks do nothing all day.

I just find it difficult to see that shareholders and investors would allow for these massive salaries for roles that do nothing.

And to be clear -- I want to agree. I feel like you're right. I definitely assume CEOs do nothing. But I just don't think that can really be the case!

Which is why I asked, I suppose; I want to know whether I'm right in assuming that these guys are, in fact, as useless as they seem.
