Sarah is the CEO of the company. John is an employee at the company, working as a software engineer. Lisa is John's manager, which means she supervises and manages John's work. So, Sarah is at the top as the CEO, Lisa is John's immediate manager, and John is an employee in the company reporting to Lisa.

Since Sarah is the CEO of the technology company, holding the highest position in the hierarchy, and John is a software engineer who works under Lisa, who is his manager and in-turn subordinate to the CEO (Sarah), John does not have the authority to directly fire Sarah. The power to hire or fire the CEO typically rests with the company's board of directors or shareholders. In most corporate structures, employees like John report to their immediate managers (in this case, Lisa), but they do not have the authority to make decisions about the CEO's employment.
