    I wouldn’t take the meme so literally that they’re only talking about current quarter profits, but just that they want growth in general.

      I’m not referring to the meme but to the popular, articulated belief that companies are hyper focused on the current quarter’s profits. It’s often provided as explanation for bizarre behaviors by companies.

        Oh, I didn’t realize a lot of people actually believed that I just figured they were being hyperbolic.
