> employees would be disappointed but can go get another job pretty easy
True enough in tech, though the economy will tell.
> For investors they lose a lot of money. Employees have less to gain+lose.
VCs expect 9/10 of their investments to fail. Ask Masa Son how much Vision Fund's startup losses impact Softbank's bottom line, or his machinations.
> A collective of employees is not going to make better decisions than management.
Unsubstantiated value judgement.
> If management/owners are this bad then there isn’t much hope for the company.
And what's so wrong trying to save a company?
> If Union force needs to be used to get mgmt to do the right thing for maximizing profits, it’s not really worth it.
That's just defeatism!
