    “Juice the next 3 months.”

    Thats it. Thats the whole strategy each exec uses until they leave.

        Quick answer this one question.

        You are given a button that upon pressing kills 100,000 people. The button does nothing else.

        Do you press the button?

          Of course not. Why would I risk limiting our market share that way?

          I demonstrate synergy and the ability to run an agile ship by instead outsourcing development of an app charging 1,000,000,000 people $15 monthly for the privilege of pressing the button and posting that they weren’t it this month.

          Then I press it, because we must make sure our actions align with increasing shareholder value.

            Ahh, see you have a conscience. Sorry you’re not billionaire material.

            I would have accepted:

            “Yes, for the mere thrill of it”

            “Yes, they deserve it”

            “Yes”

            “No, that isn’t nearly enough”

            “Yes, it’s my right”
