That investor needs a reality check on how hard it can be to attract and maintain real talent pools.

Unfortunately investors in publuc stock don't give a shit about lingterm investment. They just want stock value to go up this quarter so they can sell their shares at a profit and move on to the next stock

True, but those types of investors don't matter so much. Institutional investors and/or holders of preferred shares are the ones that have the power to push a company around. Much of that depends on how a company is structured, but in general, odds are usually against a public investor.
