These little power hungry kings are the monsters we made. These kings have one job and just one job, keep raising the stock price.

One of the quickest way to get liquid, meet your projections and so on, is to liquidate jobs. Get all that $$ back on the books. 10 ppl isn't just (assuming they make 100k each) 1m, its also the training and benefits, and social security, health 401k..etc.

A few dips in the stock price == dethronement, possibly disinterest and the looming specter of irrelevance/demise.

All corporations are about profit. All stockholders want them to be. All people, who often are also stockholders, find this at odds with being a reasonable, nurturing workplace
