I don’t think it’s that simple — yes maybe in private you could say that, but this would set them up for an investor revolt or make them come across as huge assholes if they say things like that.

They may be true, but telling it to everyone is definitely not always better.

Making shit up to obscure the truth is a way bigger asshole move than just telling the truth.

Of course. It's not about the best move or what looks better. Nobody cares for that.

It's about the truth. That's what people care about in the end. And if none of it was said here, parent is pointing out that Mark is truly an ass. Something like "laying off people because other companies are doing it" is pretty fucked up.
