Hey morons, we don’t care! Offset higher costs by reducing your idiotic compensation plans at the executive level.
but the poor execs! they work so hard, they deserve those bonuses
Yeah after sacrificing customers, employees, and the environment to profits for decades suck it the fuck up
Their…. Record breaking…. Profits?
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."
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.
Then be okay with lower profits?
Oh no!
....
Anyway
As a customer, I don’t give two FLYING fucks about your profits.
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...
Oh no, will somebody please think of the shareholders?!
C-level executives to employees: “we need to cut 5% of workforce to pump the stonk!!!1”
"Our record breaking profits aren't record breakingly high enough"
Fuck them all. Nationalize the airlines.
Damnit, I can't find it microscopic violin!
How can't you see it, it's right there!
Now where have I left my sub-atomic violin?...
Snake eating it's own tail. "Rising costs" They're the ones raising the prices.
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?
Nobody's yet mentioned their fucking stock buybacks.
