IMHO, the situation is now exacerbated by stock buy backs - another way to extract capital from the business to shareholders, all in an effort to boost share price. Buybacks, dividends, stock grants are the given; quality, service, safety and engagement are given a back seat. All are vulnerable on the altar of the shareholder.
Douse's comments are spot on.

Love your turn of phrase here: " Buybacks, dividends, stock grants are the given; quality, service, safety and engagement are given a back seat."
I may steal that in the future, attributed to you, of course. 😉
