    Applies to a lot of fields.

    I have been in scenarios where business leaders doing their thing are frustrated by a competitor that has better product and better customer treatment (pricing, support, no superfluous subscriptions…)

    Rather than adopt some of those business principles, they instead think that the competitors people are just betterexcept their leadership, that if they were in charge of the competitor company it would do way better, with good product and the better business practices like fucking up support, charging moore upfront, cutting employees, and hooking customers with subscriptions.

    With many public companies, they have succeeded in convincing investors they are right and investors put them in charge.
