      Nah, let’s privatize all the services you need to have a functional home. That way the companies can extract maximum value from the customers.

      Brilliant.

          Won’t anyone think of the shareholders!?

          For real though, I had a job where the management team tried to motivate us by setting “shareholder expectations” or some such nonsense. Obviously this didn’t work. Also the company was small enough that pretty much everyone working there personally knew all the shareholders… Because they also ran the business. They were the managers.

          The balls it must take to be a shareholder, and to be known as a shareholder then talk about shareholder expectations like those are for a different set of people that isn’t just you… Gotta be massive…
