This is BS. A shareholder lawsuit against the CEO/board/executives for investing in the employees in the hope of long term profits would never succeed. The idea of a fiduciary duty…

So on one hand, you're kinda right. HN is filled with exaggeration (imo often justified) from people venting because they have to deal with the bad parts of this system all day. Th…
