It's probably not that simple. Most chief executives delegate the responsibility of hiring staff to others. Sure, the buck stops with the executive, but ultimately nobody can review every single operational decision at scale. Maybe the

It's simple to say we'd be more charitable if we had incomes 1,000x or more our current annual compensation, but I do genuinely wonder if I'd be different. Would I be greedy, would I care about doing right to the laid off emp

The average age of a public company has been declining for decades: 61 years in 1958, and currently 18 years. No company is immune to the practice. Google isn't going anywhere, but we should be expecting companies to come-and-go more f

Storing things either in the pantry or the freezer (meats/butter/etc) is the only way to take advantage of sales. Plus, it's smart emergency preparedness to have a week or two's worth of food in your house.
