It’s times like this where I wish “stakeholders” had a say in the matter besides just the shareholders. I know it isn’t my company and they can do what they want, but it’s hard to just sit here watching it commit corporate suicide. It’s gone way downhill since I joined in 2008 but still.

You’ve gotta put it down because the version of it that you know and love is already dead.
