Company turns a profit:

1930s:

Bill and the guys did fantastic! Let’s give the staff end of year bonuses and hand out some scholarships to empower our workforce and train the next generation for this company!

2024:

LETS BUY BACK OUR STOCK!!! Raise the stock price at all costs. Billions of of debt on our balance sheet who cares! Pump that price! Make sure those executives get their bonuses as well. Oh and don’t forget we have to cut cost by 3% so let announce layoffs of about 2000 people!
