No. What's irresponsible is creating the situation that leaves people guessing and speculating.

I don't have to "guess" that there's a problem... since I see the evidence of it posted here. I don't have to guess what the impact on the people is, of management having created that problem... since I can see that here.

Investors observing the management's stupid tricks in act following upon act... don't have a responsibility to anything other than themselves and the truth.

It's also not rocket science, when you've seen the drill before, to note that employees experience paired with investors "guessing and speculation" is probably MORE ACCURATE than what the company, with noses growing longer over time, have been trying to pass off as "the truth"... ?

People know it when you lie to them. Not unreasonably, when it becomes habit... other people become habituated to the reasonable expectation.

That some find it useful to delude themselves... doesn't put the undies back on the naked emperor...
