Question – If your company’s job for the last several decades has been to improve a specific metric, and every single measure of that metric has sunk like a goddamn rock, would you not lose your job?

1. It’s definitely concerning if a company’s focus for decades has consistently resulted in declining metrics. In most industries, failing to meet performance expectations over an extended period would prompt serious introspection and potentially lead to significant changes, including personnel adjustments. However, the response might depend on several factors: the reasons behind the decline, the ability to innovate and adapt, and whether management is willing to take a hard look at the strategy. Sometimes organizations don’t act swiftly, perhaps due to bureaucracy or a belief in long-term plans, but ultimately, accountability is essential for progress. What do you think should be done in such situations to turn things around?
