I've worked for those companies; they are not so much the norm, but 
they are certainly not unusual. It's not an attitude I can relate too.

It's a symptom of public companies though; you are judged not my 
revenue, but by profit and quarter over quarter performance. There's a 
fickleness to publicly traded companies that I have a strong dislike 
for.
