Well you aren’t so why are you acting like you have a vested interest? Its this guys company, he’s free to run it how he likes, and since you are neither a board member, or an investor you have no dog in the fight so to attack him just shows up as envy.
If you respect the concept of liberty you can’t be attacking someone else for exercising theirs when you disagree with it. You by your own admission have absolutely no personal stake in this company, so why are you projecting your will onto it or criticizing it? If the CEO decides he things lower annual profits to provide a better payroll is better for his business that’s his decision to make, it doesn’t affect you in any way, so why do you care?
It is not his company. He is simply the CEO. I doubt he has much stock at all. He is simply a hired hand. The article stated that he has worked their since he was a teenager.
It is a risk and a silly one at that. It is an arbitrary figure and it is destined to creata more problems than it solves.
As for caring I don’t! Why do you care enough to rise to his defense?
