    Why is no one using their full name? How do you embarrass anyone or hold them accountable if you didn’t even say their name?

    He always had a full legal team at his disposal. But he not only didn’t consult them, he completely ignored their warnings, fully trusting the sycophancy machine.

      That’s because he doesn’t have to pay ChatGPT for a consultation, I’d wager.

      CEOs are in for a shock in the near future. The board would LOVE to eliminate their bloated salaries, and ChatGPT can actually do their job. Unlike the janitor.

      Now, I know a big part of their scam is being on each other’s boards and backing each other up, to keep their own salaries high and maintain power. But… nobody gets to be CEO without screwing over many people, and all of those victims don’t just disappear into the ether. They have more enemies than many of them even realize.

        The board would LOVE to eliminate their bloated salaries

        “The board” is typically made up of the CEOs and other C-suite denizens of other companies, so it’s in their interest to approve the bloated compensation packages because then their own bloated compensation packages get approved. Corporations are a true circle jerk in the finest sense of the term.

      Well you know they take all the risks. Except when something bad happens it is how could they have known what was happening in the company.

      Or what.

      This CEO is proof that humans are a vile animalistic beast that will eliminate each other as soon as possible.

      The worst luck any living creature can have is a human livimg near by.

      Any true hyper inteligent alien presense knows to erase humanity if it ever tries to leave earth.

      Humans are a biological virus, already weaponized, just waiting to be abducted deployed.

    I guess the obvious question is “Did that include CEO bonuses as well?”. Those bonuses are the artificially gigantic ones given to scavenger/predators who hurt their own employees to benefit the shareholders.

      I still don’t understand the justification for CEO bonuses. They provide zero value to the company and shareholders. They are signing away money to an individual with zero return. Aside from motivating them to do the job they are already paid for…

        They provide zero value to the company and shareholders.

        That isn’t exactly true. They make final decisions about what the company does and how, which relates to how profitable the company is.

        Bad CEOs reduce profitability while good ones increase it.

        Not saying that they deserve massive bonuses for it, though.

        They raise money, that’s the CEOs job. So they get these bonuses because they convinced a billionaire to invest $100M, and if they get fired that billionaire is out.

        Not agreeing with them and not understanding them are very different things.

        I don’t agree with them but I do understand that because they do a ton of unethical shit daily to both their customers and employees they feel entitled to as much fucking money as they can grab, because why the fuck not, they sold their soul for this and that ain’t cheap.

        Oh and I almost forgot, there’s no consequences.

    It blows my mind just how unimaginably stupid some of these CEO’s actually are. Tell us again, how the best and brightest, naturally rise to the top. I’ve known janitors with more common sense than this.

        I’ve worked with a couple people like this. They’ll come in bragging about their (actually) impressive résumé. There will be a honeymoon phase where everyone is convinced Mr. Fancy Résumé will change the world. A year or two will go by and everyone will realize they are the embodiment of capitalism. All confidence, importance and big talk on the outside, actually dumb and ineffective on the inside. Gilded, you could say. They get wind that their time may be up, quit, put their new badge on their résumé and starting fucking the next one. All that is to say there are a lot of people out there who are great at building a résumé, but not actually great at doing any work.

      They wouldn’t be CEO unless they had the parasitic impulse. If they wanted to make things or facilitate people there are way better positions to do that from

        Partly that, and partly the fact that the system rewards psychopathic attitudes and a machiavellian willingness to stomp on whoever you have to in order to get your way. It’s the reason why CEOs and executives exude such a disproportionate level of anti-social behaviour.

      Buy it until their sales numbers get to about 3 million units where sold where the devs bonus starts to cap out. Apparently the devs get $3.12 for every dollar in sales past around $70 million and their total bonuses cap out at $250 million.

      If you really want to royally screw Krafton over while making sure the devs get the maximum payout, hoist the colors when they announce 3 million total units sold 🏴‍☠️

      Have you bought the first Subnautica?

      It still holds up extremely well today.

      Note: If you have any fear of open water, or sharks, or anything. It’s more of a horror game

      I LOOOOVED Natural Selection!! I’d always play as an alien… creeping through the ceiling 🤣 The hive mind concept visualized through the “wall hack” was so well done, but the RTS element of the humans was also SUPER original and both sides contrasted each other perfectly
