00:00Your CEO just triggered a massive $50 million bonus by deleting company shares.
00:05That single accounting trick ensures their wealth grows while your paycheck remains completely flat.
00:10While your hourly wages remain frozen, the board approved billions to buy back stock.

00:26This mechanism is designed to strip the company of cash for immediate executive gain.
00:32Executive bonuses are directly tied to earnings per share, a metric they can manipulate.
00:38By reducing the total number of shares, the profit per remaining share instantly climbs.
00:43No new products were invented and no real operational efficiency was actually ever achieved.
00:49They simply used company cash to shrink the pie and inflate their personal slice.
00:53This accounting trick allows them to hit performance targets without ever growing the business.

01:04Money that should have gone toward your raises is diverted into the stock market.
01:09The funds intended for research and development are sacrificed for a temporary price spike.
01:15These buybacks artificially inflate the stock price while the company's core internal foundation crumbles.
01:21You are working much harder for a company that prioritizes its own ghost metrics.

01:25Please, please quit.
01:26You are smiling!
