Take some of those massive profits and fund your R&D division instead of paying them out. That's how the big companies did it back in the glory days.

My company sold a major asset and the proceeds were enough to buy every employee a Lamborghini. But instead of rewarding employees or investing in growth, we issued a massive dividend and stock buyback (we don't have an employee stock program). Feels bad man.
