The world is ternary. Hate, love, and indifference have a difference meaning when you job is to work for your employees. And when the companies purpose is the advancement of the nation and mankind.
Indifference is a total deregard - the definition of hate - towards your charges. You may not like the term. But it applies.
Nobody said profits are bad. If a company is making products that advance the nation and mankind, then the company is probably making a profit. If a company is not making profits, then the company and its products are not doing what they should. One need only view 2008 Ford and GM to observe those 'night and day' differences.
Profit is the reward. Anybody can buy Olympic medals. Those medals are not the purpose of mankind. Winning the race - pushing out the envelope - doing what no man has done before ... that is the purpose of the race. The medals, like profits, are only the reward.
Most usually hear this concept for the first time. Most of us are so brainwashed by business school doctrine as to believe the purpose of a company is its profits. Want to see the first reason for our economic malaise? Many of use need to first look in the mirror. Or learn what the true purpose of all companies (profit, non-profit, NGO, etc) really is.
Problems are not solved until the problem is first defined. And that include top management. If indifferent to their responsibility, then that is a hate that also creates the resulting economic harm. That same attitude is found in the Mafia's wise guys.
