I mean yes, but also no. I work at a private company and profits seem to be the only thing to get anyone with a title to move their ass.

Most Directors or below have their teams, or customers, or the product front of mind. But once you get to VP seats they just.. don’t, it seems.

And this is super anecdotal, I know, but.. basically my point is private vs public doesn’t necessarily mean anything.

This guy is just a good guy. He knows what matters to people and speaks from his heart, not his wallet.

Thats either because your boss privately wants to hoard wealth, or is trying to set the books up for a clean sell.

Public means you sacrifice everything in the name of profit.

Private means you operate on the ideals of the private owners.

A private owner can have ideals of profit. A public company cannot have idealistic shareholders.
