About

Creating Shareholder Value refers to memes that present the process of providing value for shareholders as the primary goal of any individual's life, with any minute spent not doing that being considered as time wasted. The memes are a parody of the corporate mindset and hustle culture, often incorporating various business jargon.

Origin

In corporate jargon, creating (also providing or delivering) shareholder value means increasing the wealth of the company's shareholders, which is achieved through contributing towards the rise of the company's stock price. In memes, "creating shareholder value" usually translates to "working hard for the benefit of shareholders of the company one works for."
