Corporations Lululemon CEO Upset

I'll save you the read:

1) People are tightening their belts due to economic and political uncertainty and expensive leggings are not at the top of the list of necessities

2) People are more and more... GASP... Buying second hand clothes !!!!!

Breaking News: Consumers who are routinely exploited for their labor can't afford expensive leggings when you pay them poverty wages. Up next: the sky is blue and grass is green.

Tragedy of the Commoners.

Exploit us bad enough, and there is nobody left to exploit...

Companies are gonna have to start investing in their own markets at some point...Or die.

No, you just don't get it. Instead of letting people actually having living wages so they can actually buy luxuries when they want we should just continue focusing on short term this quarter profit growth and giving CEOs bonuses!

That works right?

I feel like I could ace a CEO interview so easily.

"Yea so I want to make the product smaller, shittier, cost more and then I want to fire half the staff, maybe put a bunch of debt on the company, have number line go up for 6 months, give myself ... I dunno... A gorrilian dollars? And then golden parachute out before it all implodes. I'd also like to cause several SA allegations against the company that cost the company millions in hush money."

You basically are just interviewing to be the worst employee at the company. Easy.

This is spot on, could we also add ‘unnecessary merger or acquisition’ to this

I actually said something like this to my boss at a performance review and he started cracking up. I had a good review that year.
