1. My company has massive first mover advantage and inertia. All other players have exited the space because all other players were driven out by deep discounts that my company was offering via VC money to capture the market. Now the market is impermeable to any new players.
2. My manager is not really watching out for companies overall profitability. His main goal is to make himself look good and have some BS "accomplishments" on his resume, rise as high as possible in the chain.
Eventually this company will go down( for the reasons u mentioned) and my manager will find a new job with his buddies at new place. Repeat.
- chrisco255 8y agoSure, maybe in the short term BS companies survive...but long term they don't. How many companies are still around that were here 100 years ago? 50 years ago? 25 years ago?
- dominotw 8y ago> How many companies are still around that were here 100 years ago? 50 years ago? 25 years ago? Why did these companies go down if there aren't any bullshit jobs?
- chrisco255 8y agoBecause they were valuable at one time and then they faded into un-profitability. See Sears, Roebuck & Co. Companies, industries, and jobs all have lives just like organisms. We don't look at a dead person and claim their life was bullshit, because they died, do we?
- dominotw 8y ago> We don't look at a dead person and claim their life was bullshit, because they died, do we? So every company has a fixed lifetime like human beings, because its law of nature. :D
