No it's not. The VP is maximizing their bonus and career growth within the company. That is likely tied to relatively short term metrics and especially to not having drops in metrics.
- jbnorth 5y agoJust to be clear, you confirmed that it was a short-sighted decision.
- marcinzm 5y agoNo, there is no negative long term consequence for the VP so it is likely the optimal decision from both a short and long term perspective.

- marcinzm 5y agoEngineers often practice resume driven development. This is basically the VP version of that. Maximizing personal goals over the goals of a bunch of stock owners that would fire you in a heart beat if it increased their share price.
