What happened after they used the forest?

The trees slaughtered his workers, broke a damn, and destroyed the factory.

Typical executive short term thinking, yeah, Saruman hit his production targets, but he Boeinged them by doing it.

    Upper management switched from engineers to failure MBA people. Not knowing how to do anything, the company is falling apart for short term gains.

    They are all Jack Welch level genius with nothing to contribute, no talent, and lots of confidence. Maximum Dunning-Kruger.

    At least this time Saruman(c-suite for sure) didn’t catch a golden parachute from the board on his way out the door to guide(Sabatoge) another kingdom(company)

    This is like when you acquire a company, transfer the best workers, then ask the former CEO (now VP of something) to meet insane targets and later fire them for cause after they fuck everything up, negating their whole parachute package.

    Just like how all public companies focus on the quarterly numbers and nothing else. No one gives a shit about next year or even next quarter. It's always "how much money are we making in the next 3 months, all else be damned."
