When input is sought out from people who have 15, 20, 30 years experience in the market, it is universally discarded and they go ahead with whatever they were going to do anyway, frequently bring in outside leaders who only look good on paper, initiate terrible ideas, break everything and leave.

Eviscerated the company of long term employees without succession plans, causing chaos. Recent RiF of 15% was done with an eye towards overhead reduction without considering consequences. Purely a stock-supporting move.
