> You do not need to work for a public company to own stock in that company. You can work at another company and simply buy that stock and get the same benefit.
You have to work for the company to truly affect change within the company. That's the point you're missing.
If you really think whatever contributions you make to AMD with tens of thousands of employees are going to move the stock price so much that it's a better investment than working somewhere else that pays 3x better, then you're the one that needs to get over yourself.
Again, it isn't always about the money. 100% yes, a single individual can have a huge effect on a company and the stock price. Look at what Anush is doing and the stock price action since he started his new role.
Why you keep trying to make this personal, is beyond me. Feels aggressive and uncalled for.
I'm just responding to things you said. You told me to get over myself, so I'm just throwing it back at you. I think the only one taking this personally is you.
Let's just go back to "agree to disagree" because we're both tired of each other at this point.
Your original comment is pointless and misleading and I explained why. I didn't attack you or even your comment, I just pointed out what's wrong with it. Anyway sure, I'm happy to continue if you want.
> I’m done engaging with you.
You're the one that said this, not me. I was just trying to be kind and keep giving you an exit that you said you wanted. If you want to keep getting yourself worked up over a comment thread on HN, I'm happy to oblige. After all, according to you I'm acting psychopathically.
