Instead of just iterating on a solid business another case of promising infinite growth, which in reality is just a different form of pump and dump. Fire the executives.
Since I have been running my company 2.5 years now, a quick reminder: employees expect yearly salary increases, tech employees have very high salary growth expectations. You can explain to me how to make employees happy without "infinite growth", as you are there, please also help me understand how a company is to secure their sustainability without growth with expected positive inflation.
I would argue that the salary is not following the infinite growth, not even close for employees. Sure, for startup there is a path ahead for increase, but I bet Google, Amazon, Meta or any big company are not increasing the salaries anymore as much as these companies are generating increased revenue over every year.

Autonomy so they dont get a do nothing manager that wants meetings to discuss upcoming meetings.
Treat them like adults - also hire adults in the first place. Throw out well poisoners early on. Bullies, sexists, racists, over-competitive twats, ass kissers, boot lickers, etc if you somehow hired such types - throw them out too.
Pay must be market rate but doesnt have to be 500k for an api plumber.
Remote work so they buy a property they afford, settle down and raise a family.
Efficiency increases could lead to less person hours being necessary, thus allowing to do the same with less people, or the same amount of people working less per week.

This is in opinion a very US-centric observation/expectation.
