The ideological bullshit here is hilarious.

We have a VC here whining that a business with one of the most exceptional margins in modern capitalism is… not returning enough to shareholders?

And those pesky workers are to blame?

The buck here stops with management. If the people with power in your organisation are powerless to ship features, innovation and value… aren’t they the problem?

Get leadership that works. Hire a board that knows how to innovate.

95% of VC knob-ends do no real work. They spend other people’s money on other people’s businesses and help themselves to profits other people have generated.

Google probably is too big, but don’t blame Jane from Legal or Deepak from Accounts

Whenever you extrapolate the "corporate vision" of these VC pontificators, you see a company all of whose revenue goes to investor share-grabbers, and whose projects are all funded by employees who are paid nothing.

I mean this is quite common even without VC involved... the only thing is you have to make sure to spend that money on the _right_ other businesses to get things done properly.
