2. Blame “AI spending”

LOL. Spending gobs of money on AI software is a choice, a priority that's higher than adequately compensating employees - barring C-suiters.

“The company’s share price, which surged during the pandemic, has fallen from more than $110 in late 2021 to just over $3 as of the close on May 8, 2026.”

Though possibly they aren’t expecting AI to fix anything and are just trying to put off the inevitable.
