Even the employees, I think, would probably be fine with being told “we just want to make shitloads of money”.

I usually feel like these statements are more about the board members and C-suite trying to fool themselves.



Those employees revolted to bring Sam back after he was dismissed by the board. They know what's up.


Yes but when that statement doesn't come with "and we're doubling all your salaries" then as an employee it doesn't really matter.

The double edge of most companies insulating employees from the actual business is that beyond the maintenance cost employees don't care that the business is doing well because, well, it doesn't affect them. But what does affect them is abandoning the company's values that made them sign on in the first place.


Employees have equity. They all directly benefit from the company being worth more.
