A while back I was reading up on private equity as an 'industry' after a prior employer was bought up by PE, carved into bits, with each 'chunk' being sold off to the highest bidder.

If you look up the names of some of the PE companies they're quite on the nose: https://macellumcapitalmanagement.com/ Macellum literally means "meat market": https://m.dict.cc/latin-english/macellum.html 'Take an animal (company); chop it into parts and sell those off'
