> …do I just need to avoid public companies… Pretty much. They’re beholden to their investors and modern day investors in public companies pretty much only care about next quarter’s results. Your other options are private companies with long term game plans but I don’t know of many that aren’t looking to exit eventually as either a public company(back to your problem), or get acquired(also probably a public company) There are small mom and pop companies that go on for years and never lay anyone off unless absolutely forced but they also tend to be at the lower end of the compensation band
