These people get paid so much for spouting this utter bullshit every day. I hope they have moments when they realize the hollowness of what they do.
Agreed. What even the fuck is that string of complete nonsense? These C-suite dipshits say it so much, someone is eating it up.
The "someone" is the investors, or generally speaking, the market.
Major CEOs can't say they're taking a financial hit, for whatever reason. This is why I like working for small companies, and most Americans work for small businesses.
Last company: CEO announced to the board that he intended to lose money in order to build staff and products. Yes, he even included tech debt. The board applauded him.
Meh, we fucked around and still made a profit, so he gave the board the same report the following year, same results. We fucked around a made a profit. Again.
tl;dr: Don't mistake all CEOs for the bullshit you hear from Nadella and Musk and the like. Remember; You only hear crazy talk reported, because it's crazy talk.
I would say Nadella is the biggest bullshitter of them all. I don't think I've heard him speak a single non-bullshit sentence.
They're trying to tell their "stakeholders", employees, customer, shareholders, what to believe, what to think that's the bullshit dazzle spell to preserve your suspension of disbelief just a little longer.
That's the thing though. If I as an employee heard the CEO spout this crap, I would laugh at them. It's ridiculous. Use real sentences with real meanings.
That's why they're at the podium and expect peer pressure to keep everyone quiet until they can retreat back into their lair
Just make a functional OS that doesn't get in user's ways. Those are the expectations.
Microsoft doesn't expect growth in their OS offerings. These days all their focus is on AI and cloud.
They know every single word is hollow. Eat it and rejoice peasant. Are you not filled?
