I’ve been at executive level for a decade or so and am honestly not surprised at all. 1) their main job is “be strategic” and as such they throw out all kinds of horrible ideas to improve the normal business metrics / profitability. In healthcare, I hear things that clearly and obviously would worsen patient care and the line “let’s run that by Clinical” essentially means I really doubt that idea deserves consideration. 2) they’ve been hit with a multitude of problems. Rising wages is certainly the hottest topic since they were furloughing people in 2020. They begrudgingly raised menu prices. It continues to puzzle them where all the labor went? 3) as much as I hate to admit it, there might be some truth to the point he’s making regarding gas prices. I’d never put that in writing, but it happens and is rather normalized behavior.
