Hey morons, we don’t care! Offset higher costs by reducing your idiotic compensation plans at the executive level.

Stakeholder meeting: "We make lots of profit. It was the best fiscal year ever!"

Internal employee comms: "Sorry, we missed our goals this year. Therefore we don't hand out bonus payments."

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

No, you don't understand! If we dont increase profits year over year, this will greatly upset Mammon and, like, we can't have that!

Boo fucking hoo! Let me play them the world's tiniest violin.

As a customer, I don’t give two FLYING fucks about your profits.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago

Oh no!

If the people doing the work are "eating the profits" I feel like that's what's supposed to happen?

Where else should the profits go...

C-level executives to employees: “we need to cut 5% of workforce to pump the stonk!!!1”

Damnit, I can't find it microscopic violin!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

How can't you see it, it's right there!

Now where have I left my sub-atomic violin?...

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

First, you prove down to the penny that you're not just saying that while you profit more.

You think you can just keep pulling the same shit?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

Snake eating it's own tail. "Rising costs" They're the ones raising the prices.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

Nobody's yet mentioned their fucking stock buybacks.
