That's still enough to tank an IPO.

Yep, in the face of the infinite growth monster, anything other than exceeding expectations is seen as a failure

I still remember a line from a boss I had in one of my very first "real" jobs. "I expect you to exceed my expectations."

I didn't bother pointing out the problem there. I also didn't stay working for her for very long. :)
