> I find it hard to believe that something like this wouldn't collapse under its own weight fairly quickly. At least in the case of that company the collapse will be a slow crumbling, not a big bang. What I expect will happen is that 5-10 yrs from now they will be out competed by nimbler new-comers. By then however all the important people will have executed their options, gotten their bonuses etc. and moved on. The rank and file will remain unhappy, there will be churn and nothing will change.
