I agree. The interests of an individual may not always 100% align with the overall interests of the company. That's true at eBay as it's true at almost every company out there.
I am more interested, for example, at making the clients I talk to on a day to day basis happy with my work than I am on the exact profit margin my company makes every time I bill an hour of my time to that account. I see my job as making my clients happy, not making my company's stockholders richer. Hopefully one leads to the other.
