A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

I mean he has been rewarded for making the line go up. Part of making the line go up is reducing overheads. So he is being directly rewarded for actions like firing 1000+ employees. So is it a surprise?

Since I'm sitting negative I should clarify that I do not think the actions are moral. Only that he is incentivized to do things like this.

Just because there's a financial incentive doesn't mean you should do something. This is a step or two below murber for proflt.

I'm never said he should. I'm saying I understand why he did. I would not do the same thing in his position.

Remember most CEO's are psychopaths so they are not very concerned with the impact on the people they fire.
