Lots of CEOs have private lifts from their underground car parks so
they can avoid meeting not just the public, but even their own minions
on the way up to the executive suite.

Really? That seems rather expensive, compared to just programming the
lifts to stop nowhere else when going to or from the top floor, and
possibly having a back door that is only used in the basement.

There's also the time element. How long would the CEO have to wait on
the top floor for a lift to arrive? And how could you ensure it was empty.

There are CEOs who are happy to mix with their staff.

Obviously there are many; I was pointing out the example of the
fortunately less common ones who aren't.
