Google earned $26.5B last quarter, a mere 27.5% profit margin, and they’re doing layoffs today and have a founder telling people they need to work 60 hour weeks.
Imagine having all the resources and talent you could ever ask for, just a tectonic amount of skill and infrastructure behind you in a world that looks like this one does, and having no idea what to do with any of that at all beyond making a line go up for people who don’t even work there.
It's so sad. It's just so god damn sad.
@mhoye seems to me companies that do layoffs while profitable (where profit > salaries of those let go) should be subject to some really exorbitant penalties
