    It’s all so dumb. I’m sorry for the language, but it’s just really, really dang dumb. There, I said it.

      Try working for a publicly traded company and having stock shares.

      I had a decent chunk of stock. One quarter we failed to meet expectations by 0.23%. The stock price went down 30%. Grrr!

        The shit part is even with private companies if they’re run by a bunch of fucking idiot owners, they do not want to back off their bottom line, so they’ll just let people go vs having savings to weather a down turn. Very few of our companies that employee everyone are run by intelligent people… it’s mostly fucking idiots driving the ship like crack heads looking for their next fix.

        You must have joined the work force in 2021. Stock drops like that are extremely not normal.
