What do you think? Of course they thought about this, they are not stupid. They calculated they would make more money, and that's all they care. They're a corporation after all, no other considerations enter into their thinking, only one: maximising profit.
- matthewmacleod 7y agoThis is, broadly speaking, the perspective of someone who hasn't had the pleasure of interacting with corporate bureaucracy :) Companies do dumb, expensive stuff all the time. Aside from quite often deliberately doing stuff that doesn't "maximise profit", they also frequently make quite catastrophically bad decisions which accidentally avoid "maximising profit". It's baffling to me that you ascribe such a level of skill and professionalism, when most organisations seems to be accidentally successful!
