What about ethics?
A pharmaceutical company that raises the price on essential drug 200%, 300%, 500%, 800%, it's not illegal.
It is unethical, right?
It makes us uncomfortable, and yet the law is not broken.
That's not a good enough standard to run a business.
And it was his thinking that gave rise to the theory of shareholder supremacy, which was a theory proposed in the late 1970s
where we prioritize the wants, needs, and desires of a shareholder over the needs of the customer or the employee, which is like a coach who's trying to build a great team by doing what the fans want versus what the players need, right?
That's basically shareholder supremacy.
And as I said, it was just a theory proposed in late 1970 that was popularized
during the boom years of the 80s and 90s.
Mass layoffs, where we use the livelihoods of human beings to meet arbitrary projections on an annualized basis at the end of the year, did not exist, did not exist as a standard business practice prior to the 1980s, did not exist.
It was popularized during the 80s and 90s.
And it's not for the people to prove to you that they're loyal, it's the other way around.
Leaders set the tone.
And so it's because of this general business theory
that we've seen a steady decline, a steady erosion of loyalty in the business world today.
We don't want to work at a company for 20 or 30 years, mainly because we're not sure we could.
We're not sure that the company actually cares to keep us around that long.
And so we constantly have our eyes open and we're constantly scanning.
We come to work feeling uncomfortable that some of the decisions that are being made don't benefit the good of the employee.
