I've talked at length with people who report into the #1 person at the company at the two largest companies I've worked at, total market cap ~$2.2T and AFAICT there's no level of the company where people are generally aligned with making money or the interests of shareholders.

You'll find groups here and there that are somewhat aligned with increasing company profits (I'd say I'm in a group like that now), but IME those are rare exceptions and I'm actually surprised when I find one.

I’ve read your blog posts before; they’re great! But I still don’t think a rationality presumption is worthless. Unrelated: my pet theory for interviews is that it’s largely IQ testing. The brainteasers probably worked fine for this too. But everyone is focused on “job-related”
