Stakeholder meeting: "We make lots of profit. It was the best fiscal year ever!"

Internal employee comms: "Sorry, we missed our goals this year. Therefore we don't hand out bonus payments."

No, you don't understand! If we dont increase profits year over year, this will greatly upset Mammon and, like, we can't have that!

If the people doing the work are "eating the profits" I feel like that's what's supposed to happen?

Where else should the profits go...

How can't you see it, it's right there!

Now where have I left my sub-atomic violin?...

First, you prove down to the penny that you're not just saying that while you profit more.

You think you can just keep pulling the same shit?

Snake eating it's own tail. "Rising costs" They're the ones raising the prices.
