This is why corporate America just sucks. Someone builds a business with a strong, trusted brand then the next CEO comes in and starts slashing jobs, cheapening the product, and abusing the good will that someone else built.
They can ride this for 10-15 years raking in bonuses for their short term profitability.
But just like our national debt, they're borrow from the future. And then one day the chickens co e home to roost aster they've destroyed the brand trust and chased off the internal institutional knowledge.
Then the CEO just moves on with his money and doesn't somewhere else.
You saw this with the family owned Weller's Bourbon. It was the best bourbon in the world when the family sold it to a corporation. First thing the corporation did was buy cheaper ingredients.
