"Poll question: Who SHOULD be top priority?"

not based on what the law says, but what you think it really should be...

and why?

      Sure
Apr 20th 2021

Shareholders. But they shouldn't be the only priority

Shareholders have the least value to a company.

      Without shareholders, the company wouldn't exist

           Cool, those shareholders can load those boxes
Apr 19th 2021

           And vice versa
Apr 19th 2021

                Does capital load boxes? Make doohickies? Push buttons?

                     Your response makes it seem like I said employees don't matter
Apr 19th 2021

                          I never said you said that. Try again.

           What is the entity?
Apr 19th 2021

                After initial start up costs? Mostly revenue or loans
Apr 19th 2021

                     Initial start up costs. Is that not adding value?
Apr 19th 2021
17
                          It's already occured. It's not value in perpetuity.

           Some companies don't have shareholders though.
Apr 20th 2021

                There is some type of "shareholder" in every for profit business
Apr 20th 2021

Employees and shareholders should be the same people.

The purpose of business is to provide a good or service to the world

temporarily sure, long term, you have a failed business
Apr 19th 2021

      Failed businesses happen, all the time, more often than not

Here's the issue with that...

Serving shareholders means maximizing the value of the stock
Apr 19th 2021
25
Are stocks tied more to value or perception/speculation?
Apr 21st 2021

      Value is perception

It's the customers for profit or not
Apr 20th 2021
38
customers should always come first
Apr 20th 2021

Employees.
Apr 20th 2021

depends on who the client/customer is
Apr 20th 2021

Employees > Shareholders > Customers
Apr 20th 2021
45
Customers... but not on some "customer is always right" stuff
Apr 21st 2021
