This sounds awful. I can't think what it does for morale when they spend $900m on Moovit. Certainly doesn't imply management focus on the most important issues. At least investors understand - the questions on the earnings call were basically all about 7nm.

Jensen taking over would certainly be interesting!

They spend $x billion on whatever acquisition of the week and they take away the quarterly ice cream social and the free fruit out of the caf. That’s a specific complaint I heard, yeah. And that’s Bob Swan's doing.

The old adage about "when they take away the free soda it's time to start looking for the exits" rings as true as ever. It's fine if you don't ever offer it in the first place but when the CFO is suddenly checking the phone booths for leftover change, there are bigger problems.
