My point was more that they are justifying the price increases because they need more money per their CEO, yet they aren't cutting obvious things on their end to make their business more lean. It's not like cutting out a few gifts and trips would make their employees lives miserable. The model of making customers continually pay more without ever cutting back on business expenses is not sustainable.

I'm not busy because my job sucks, but I also don't think I should have to pay astronomically high prices for things so that businesses can provide unlimited benefits and gifts to their employees. I guess the optics of "We're broke, pay us more!" immediately followed by "Come work for us so you can buy gifts for our employees" doesn't sit well with me.
