Simplicity is definitely not genius in this case

Jeff’s favorite quote according to him is “Simplicity is genius”. He won’t be content until he has eliminated practically every employee. Our sales force will be a web site that asks one question, “What speed would you like.” Equipment will be shipped to the customer with a self install link and contract companies will be an option for the less tech savvy. We as employees need only outlast his time as CEO as it’s unlikely that anyone with a conscience could be remotely as anti labor as he is. Investors are on to him and his attempts to make us look like a rising company by eliminating essential employees and failing to replace things like inventory and motor vehicles as well as eliminating overtime which helps restore service to our customers in a timely fashion.. He has long ago lost the confidence of his workforce and as a result productivity is at a crawl. A brief inspection of our company home page will show his insecurity of his future with this company as he has removed the ability for employees to comment on posts and the CTL stock ticker is now removed as well.

Couldn't agree with you more, @ZKPPhHG-7xbr.

Currently what is happening reminds me of this Episode of Star Trek.

Landru

Landru, an omniscient computer on the planet Beta III, had a near-tyrannical hold on Beta III's people until Captain Kirk put a stop to it. Kirk discovered Landru on a mission to learn what happened to the U.S.S. Archon, a ship that was lost in orbit of Beta III.

The Archon's survivors formed an underground movement against the controling Landru, an incredibly complex computer, built by and named for a scientist who lived 6,000 years before. Landru wanted to guide his people to a peaceful, civilized future, where all creative thought and instinct were suppressed. Landru created the computer in his "image" as means to enforce this ideal way of life, which made the inhabitants of Beta III part of "The Body." Landru allowed them the "Red Hour" as their only outlet for violent, emotional release.

Landru, using an elaborate system of holograms, was able to project "his image" before those not of "The Body," as Kirk and Spock witnessed. Soon after locating Landru's mainframe, Kirk realized that Landru the scientist created Landru the computer with all of his experience and memories, but none of his wisdom. Kirk used that fact to defeat the computer, arguing that instead of nuturing the planet's people, Landru was actually harming them by denying their independent thought. Processing the ramifications of Kirk's accusation, Landru overloaded and destroyed himself. And the Betans were left to work - on their own - toward developing the culture Landru intended centuries before.

Now we only need Captain Kirk !!!

Your on point. This is how many CTL employees feel today.
