You are not wrong.  I've worked for a few billion dollar annual profit companies....  every year is "how do we make more."

True. It's because inflation exists. Not growing means the money you have is going to be worth less over time. Just like everyone would like to see their paycheck increase at minimal to offset inflation, so do investors when it comes to their stock.

Problem though is that infinite growth for everybody and every company is pretty much impossible, so it's a rat race to get ahead and stay ahead. And that means unfortunately some companies will end up behaving as rats, especially towards their workers.

When the Sony "They're Doing Great!" Playstation division has shut down 4 studios in 4 years time ... you know the business model has big problems.
