    Well good news… you don’t have to fucking answer to stockholders. That’s a fucking lie perpetrated by Harvard Business sociopaths and their bootlicking bitchboys.

    All you have to do is what’s in the best interest of the business. If someone doesn’t like it they can sell the fucking stock.

          The ruling of that Supreme Court case was that publicly-traded companies are obligated to act in the interests of their shareholders, rather than employees or customers. Cargo cultist MBA-types – those who have superficial knowledge, but lack actual understanding – think that means companies must be purely sociopathic and slavishly work to increase quarter-to-quarter stock returns at all costs, but that’s not actually true because management is still allowed to take things like long-term stability and customer goodwill into account.
