  He only thinks growth and expansion are bad when he got laid off. He doesn't have an issue with growth and expansion when it results in steady promotions, pay raises and generally an income that's far beyond the average thanks to his role being in demand and the evil forces of capitalism (which drive growth, which is bad!) are in effect. It's an emotional reaction, so I don't think any company should be too concerned about it. When he gets hired again, his emotional state will change and he'll reconsider and land on "maybe growth isn't so bad".

  Companies that can reach a happy equilibrium? Consider the following: Valve software is a tiny company in comparison to any other company out there, yet they make steady revenue. Do you think Valve could be in a better spot if instead they spent all of their money on rapidly growing their business? The fact that Valve is a private company and not completely beholden to the endless growth that companies prioritize means it can do things other companies cannot.

    > it can do things other companies cannot which in this case seems to be lower growth and fewer jobs. good trade, but not one i would make personally.
