half-baked: people play at all times the most fun game they know how to play. if you see someone doing something that looks ridiculously unfun to you assume it is because they literally don’t know how to play a more fun game than what they’re playing

Replying to
any publicly traded company is controlled by a board of directors, whose main goal is to make investors money. money moves easily & in hidden ways in the stock market, so there is little reason to care about long term; or ethics; or the well being of workers; or anything but ROI

the board of directors is appointed by shareholders, who have no personal tie to the company at all. the board can install and remove C suite people as they please; you may be able to hide somewhere down the corporate ladder, but that power cascades down into every decision
