My solution is that sustainable companies are more worthwhile to society, than late scale capitalism companies that always lay off employees when the exponential growth targets set by their C suites aren't met.

The only reason companies exist is to make money for the founders and/or shareholders. Everything else is a pipe dream.

and yet, there are obviously some companies that are better than others.

Only in capitalist minds.

Companies are nothing without their employees.

Naturally shareholders would rather have robots.

Some people do think so: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43156785

You have to create small companies in order to build big ones

If this is in reference to the parent's mention of Hauwei (200,000 employees, ~$120 billion annual revenue), then I'm not sure we all share your idea of a small company

Small company can mean different things to different people. Considering that some larger Chinese companies have north of 2 million employees, 200k is quite a small number actually. Go figure.

Except nobody considers 200k employees a small company.
