Get higher paying job as CEO of different company
Profit
Replacement CEO at first company: Why did people stop buying my product?
Yeah, at no point do they care about the customer. They have a recipe for profits and CEO bonuses. When they're done they're fuck over the next company.
American capitalism is all about killing business for profit right now BECAUSE nothing is more profitable.

They don’t even care about the company. Somehow shareholders keep voting for absurd incentive structures for executives.
