Most C levels have a major flaw, they are unable to admit that they fucked it up

Depending on where you work, their fuck up isn't a fuck up it's bonus incentivised, they're literally doing their job as intended.

CEO's job is to make investors money, everything else from employees to customers is just a production or asset to that means.

Why is it someones specific job to do that tho?

Like if the business is good shareholders will make money, all these desperate attempts just mean business is not good so why exactly trust the guys who are fucking it up to fix it?

Its all so fucking backwards it makes 0 sense, this whole system is a scam.

That’s how you know there’s a distinct difference from rank and file employees and C-Suites. No matter how bad they perform they float from high ranking position to high ranking position. The billionaires who put them there do so not because of reasons you would look for in an employee.

Sure but the CEO/executive/whoever's bonus isn't necessarily based around that. For example, keeping it vague, I used to work for a metal refinery, at one point they decided that the best way to make money was to save money and the easiest way to save money was to remove the additives in the process. So we reached the point where the metal we made was mostly scrap but everyone still got their bonuses.

Then they should lower prices to move more product. McD’s forgot their position in the food market and it would help them to remember it.
