Tim Apple has turned into such a disappointing bootlicker.
it's fascism, all CEOs bend down.
no person with principles against fascism would never become a CEO, basic human decency is bad for the investors
There was once a time when a small company built out of passion could elevate a normal guy into CEO, so as recently as 30-40 years ago you could still have some decency at the top. As the barriers to entry have shot upward, today to become a C-level you get an MBA and carefully scrape out your soul as part of your "leadership" education which has nothing to do with the widgets your company will produce, and everything to do with fellating the shareholders.
It's sad because I grew up in an era when a guy could still get ahead by being sharp and having good ideas, but now it's only by Playing The Game. So those of us with morals are stuck with low earning potential because of it.
ish. but if there are shareholders, the CEO is replaceable. and principles aren't good for immediate profits.
