The CEO can't apparently effectively communicate to his staff what the workflow priorities of the company should be and he's blaming them for basically contributing to that workflow "inefficiently" because he's a bad leader who obviously didn't lay off the right people (middle managers).

Additionally he's promising shareholders a pipedream he's having trouble delivering on because they do not have control over the continued and rising cost of licensing and nobody seems to want to do anything at all about that. The whole industry is over a barrel and they just accept it. And so do we as consumers.
