Has this CEO done anything good?

[–] sirboozebum@lemmy.world 32 points 6 months ago (1 children)

For shareholders, he has increased the share price and dividends.

It seems he has done this via Boeing route of management, short term gain for long term decline.

It's the best route to take as a CEO though. Google's short term gain is also lining his pockets, he can suck the company dry and have enough money to never have to work again.
