The short term benefits are the reason they're doing this in the first place.
Immediate revenue and growth is the goal, long term business viability and consumer base is an acceptable sacrifice to meet that goal.
Who cares if the company went under five months after I left! When I was the CEO we had record profits
Then they re-hire you for an exorbitant price to fix the problems you created. The Bob Iger technique.
Or you have a golden parachute clause so you leave with $3.6mil as everything burns around you.
How come it is sustainable when executives or even workers are not even interested in their own product. I know a few devs at some mid sized company and they don't even care about what they are working on
There is such a huge sludge of dumb and inane softwares that inevitably some people will work on things that they don't care about.
Some people just want the paycheck and that's fine.
