    So they ditch the people who helped make them successful? What kind of ass-backwards strategy is this?

      “Juice the next 3 months.”

      Thats it. Thats the whole strategy each exec uses until they leave.

          Quick answer this one question.

          You are given a button that upon pressing kills 100,000 people. The button does nothing else.

          Do you press the button?

            Of course not. Why would I risk limiting our market share that way?

            I demonstrate synergy and the ability to run an agile ship by instead outsourcing development of an app charging 1,000,000,000 people $15 monthly for the privilege of pressing the button and posting that they weren’t it this month.

            Then I press it, because we must make sure our actions align with increasing shareholder value.

              Ahh, see you have a conscience. Sorry you’re not billionaire material.

              I would have accepted:

              “Yes, for the mere thrill of it”

              “Yes, they deserve it”

              “Yes”

              “No, that isn’t nearly enough”

              “Yes, it’s my right”

        I already made this comment on a completely different post, but it’s funny to see it’s fruition. McDonald’s executives bitching that fast food price increases have priced a lot of their low income customers off their menu… like they had no hand in it
