- bluGill 5y agoI know that cynicism is popular, but in fact their incentives are for more than that. The executive who wants to last - and most do - needs to ensure there is a profit next quarter as well. Sure they will take profit today vs next week, but they also invest in r&d because they know if they don't eventually there will be no bonus at all next quarter.
