Sometimes change sucks.
I think the key word here is "maximize." I've seen so many businesses—and, as a result, their employees and customers—destroyed by private equity in search of "maximum profit" rather than being satisfied with a more reasonable balance of profit, employee support, and customer satisfaction.

I know, I know—I'm probably not a realist—but I remember the days of shareholder capitalism when everyone could win.
