The guy’s obviously mentally ill, but sounds like the only reason he ever got that much money was because of a bidding war.

Stupid companies not looking at what they’re investing in, and just copying each other to try and get what the other wants 🤦‍♂️

They're doing this with everything now. Corporate trends are deciding "Return to Office" a decade after jumping on the Work from Home bandwagon. They're all moving to "unlimited" PTO, because people use less on average than an allotted account, and they can monitor and punish anyone who uses more.

It's almost like the MBAs are trained to just follow each other.
