I can appreciate snark and irony, but many of the comments here are of the same vein.
I think the expectation of more money = reward for behavior, less money = punishment is a flawed expectation. I dont see any correlation to that, I dont see any reason why there should be a correlation to that, I’m familiar with the mentality but prosperity preaching is a form of control not an economic theory.
I'm absolutely tired of pretending like there's simply nothing we can do to discourage this behavior. Wake up the regulators and make the companies like John Deere regret trying to abuse the market.
I am not OP but yes - I would prefer a different outcome - specifically a cut in compensation for the CEO, the executive and upper management assigned to execute this plan. Sink with the ship philosophy.
I recognize this cannot be accomplished with current corporate structures but there is a reason why calls for unionization are rising.
Holding them accountable for their failures isn't too much of an ask.
