Well, it was Jack Welch who started the braindead “line goes up” trend of making their share price raise by any means, usually layoffs. Before him, people still had jobs for life and were somwhat looked after by their employers. Behind the bastards podcast did a good episode on him.
We have Jack Welch to thank for this trend. It wasn’t always that way.
That would require bravery from a lot of people. Few have been as brave as Navalni. Let’s hope his death shakes people’s apathy.
