Well working over the past thirty years I have found companies that are owned by investors are poor places to work. They have no value in the product or people they suck the life out of both. Ascend Materials is an excellent example.

The problem is that most companies are publicly owned, and a lot of them have institutional investors who can call the shots. There's always pressure to maximize profits and cut costs when it's time for quarterly earnings. And that can really warp how a company operates, and in extreme cases companies can just be hollowed out over time.

That is 100% correct. I worked for my last company for 11+ years where I was let go to out-sourcing overseas and lower pay employees. The company was amazing until they were acquired by Thoma Bravo and it was all downhill from there.

The only thing that mattered was the bottom line and people no longer matter and the atmosphere became toxic rather fast with overseas out-sourcing and poor promotions

Any advice for a new, young PM being shoved into a problem?

I have a coworker who keeps spouting comparative odds and situations in regards to the safety of the vaccine. Such as: you're twice as likely to get hit by lightening than have blod clots from JJ. It's very annoying and I find it to be really inapprorpriate, maybe because it's pushy or just I find these comparative things to be a bit irrelevant. How does one handle something like that? Can you shut the person down without starting a spat?
