> there's a surprising amount of comments here that seem to not understand that growing companies don't hire for today, but for where they want to be tomorrow

This can be simplified to market reading. People in finance get fired for getting this wrong all the time. Michael Burry was told investors lacked confidence in his ability to read markets and was on the brink of divestiture during his short.

I think it's fair to say that's what we pay CEOs the big bucks to do, and if they fail to do it it's fair we ask for ramifications. I'm more startled by the comments who would like to preserve someone who makes millions, is already set for life, and often displays an inability to relate to the front line workers they're supposed to represent.
