Pros

Athletics working remotely pays money.

Cons

Lack of security, management, and pay. Lack of reasonable raises (the kind that keeps up with inflation, at the very least). Layoffs. Working more for the shareholder and less for the company. CEOs that make too much.

Advice to Management

Pay CEOs and execs less. Twenty-five million in total compensation is not reasonable for somebody that does very little actual work.

Also, spend less time satisfying shareholders, such as laying off people to make numbers, when investing in the company's future by making better products, etc., will equal long-term company success, not the short-term they are worried about.
