Corporations are rational.

They care about one thing, dollars. If you are making them money, they will keep you no matter what. If you are not making them money, they will get rid of you. Pretty rational I think.

That's just ludicrous. Corporations routinely do astoundingly stupid, financially damaging things for all sorts of reasons.
Seconded I have seen many occasions of outstandingly dumb decisions
As my sibling post states, you're being silly here.

Corporations are run by people, and they draw on a huge variety of sources to make their decisions. Including, obviously, some that are not rational.
