Sad reality to your last sentence is that it’s all about short-term returns these days. They don’t care about the bigger picture as long as they’re breaking records on their quarterly reports :/

The answer is to just stop investing in these CEOs. There's several C suite execs on my shit list where I just sell those company shares when I find out they've switched companies to one I have shares in.

No idea how these boards justify hiring some of these clowns. It has to be a form of nepotism or boys club. Fucking has to be.

It is probably both.

Short-term returns mean they can re-invest that capital faster.

Time is money, or more so time is a restrictor of money.
