December isn't just about Christmas or if you're in the upper hemisphere freezing your balls off because you forgot to wear gloves and a thicker coat, also looking back at the year and taking stock.
Starting from the least woke and more extremely bad management, we have Chinese vtuber agency AuroraliveVR that operated like gangsters (so typical Chinese company) and they've lost 41 English vtubers leaving them only 2 which seem out the door too.
Then there is Project Veritas this year where I'd say less woke more corporate in that they didn't want to go against Pfizer same as Fox with ditching Tucker Carlson because he was digging too close to the truth.
Now to the wokies, the big highlight is Budweiser for just how publicly they failed and actually got the conservatives to act effectively in boycott, Target also deserves a mention. Disney for how they seem to be constantly slipping down the hill into obscurity. WB that owns DC might be close but ironically the Hogwarts Legacy drama seems to have given them a life raft when they needed one. Another mention is Creative Assembly that seems to have summoned their Sega masters to bitch slap them after their waste of money on woke projects.
There's too many to list from OpenAI, Unity, Amazon and the disaster that was Rings of Power, which notable ones do you think did the most self inflicted harm this year?
In the last five years, Boeing has essentially wrecked their company and their reputation. 737 Max, utterly refusing to restart 757 production for Delta (promising the 797/NMA instead), cancelling the NMA, losing the Moon lander to SpaceX (which Elon did on a lark), Starliner failing (but actually not failing, guise!), pissing off the Air Force until they may lose the refueling tanker contract, and now losing the E-4B.
Add on to this the utter retarded method they created for the boomer to see the boom on the -46 because they didn't want to modify the airframe. This, from the company that added a fucking bomb bay to the 737 to create the P-8.
One of the funniest convos I've ever had with a tech rep was with a senior manager on the P-8 program. "So, without a MAD boom, what are you guys going to do about AIP boats?" "Our sonobuoys are really good!"
