I work for a publicly traded company. Went ipo a few years ago. CEO/founder is worth a metric shit ton of money.
We have about 2,500 employees, $450 million in annual revenue and our stock is up about 70% this year.
Once a quarter, we have an "all hands" meeting. The day after we release our earnings, the CEO, COO and CFO present to the company. Pretty standard stuff. Some people are live. Some are watching a steam.
At the end, they open it up for questions from everyone.
This was one of the questions that was asked of our CEO:
"When will have have more locally sourced, non-gmo good in the (free) cafeteria at our main locations?"
My answer would have been "you are free to bring your own lunch or go eat wherever the fuck you want. We are tracking towards a billion dollar run rate in the next 3 years. I don't get involved in cafeteria decisions. And if I ever do, the Board should fire me immediately."
