Providing a valuable, useful, and desirable products and services for customers at a fair price is the best way to do that!   Old school, I know...

Well of course!  That's the first step in not going broke, and I'm not defending evil business practices.  But you then need to do a lot of that other stuff (ethically, it doesn't have to be a "cynical ripoff").  Or don't continuously optimize your business, just keep treading water and hope for the best.

I've been in business 45 years and IMHO the blatent opportunism of the last 2-3 years is totally unwarranted.

I hope lots of those firms go bust but they probably won't because they don't treat their direct and large volume customers that way.

The chip shortage / spot market crisis during early 90ies where big elephants (GSM era) bought every logic chip they could get hold of inc from temporary mom and pop garage sized
bissnissess was not even close to the greed and crockery seen in this latest chip shortage. But back then there was no cheap 32bit MCU's, FPGA's etc and other things to get crocked over.

Even their online way of showing stock availability isn't good. You filter down for various parameters to see what parts might meet your needs, then you have to check each and every part listed before you can see if it is in stock, on backorder or not available at all. Farnell lets you filter to show in stock items only, I don't see why RS can't do this on their website.
