View submission: What we’re working on this year
1: Go public.
2: Institutions buy up shares, and vote in their own board members.
3: Board members intentionally vote for expensive "restructuring" that ultimately are bad for service and do more harm than good while claiming the opposite. Stock price skyrockets during this time.
4: Now not only does this put the company in debt, but also giving the company a bad reputation. Institutions sell off their shares while still high and then go ultra-short while also publishing slander of the target company/website through their owned media.
5: Stock price plummets, the company goes bankrupt. Board members are given golden parachutes, institutions make bank on shorting the stock, and competition is removed.
6: WIN WIN WIN WIN all around the table except for the company's employees and customers.
It's the same pattern everywhere and none are going to save us from this except ourselves.
There's nothing here!
