Unless he actually then improved his workers conditions (at the very bare minimum, which he hasn't, instead it looks like they're cutting staff to boost "productivity" in preparation for going public), that statement is entirely hollow, and is there for no other reason than to make him feel better.
Fuck the CEO getting "enlightened" from all the therapy he can afford if all he does with it is state what's already obvious to those who can barely afford rent, let alone therapy.

If they’re not public already they don’t have shareholders as that term is typically used. They may have investors who are forcing them to go public because they don’t want a simple loan payback, they want the bonanza of an ipo.

As the old saying goes, “There’s only one winner in an IPO. His name is George. He makes bank on each one. Everyone else leaves the situation worse off, either immediately, or later, unless George tips them off when to sell.”
