That's a fiscally wise decision. Better for the company and employees to let people go now to avoid having to do mass layoffs later if shit really hits the fan.

- icelancer 7y agoEspecially while unemployment is paying $2400/month on top of your normal payment. Many workers are better off just being temporarily laid off and getting a pay raise.
- harryh 7y ago$2400/month is less than $30k/year. I highly doubt any of the people getting laid of from Patreon are getting a raise by going on unemployment.
- icelancer 7y ago$2400/month is the amount on top of your unemployment pay. Maximum in WA state puts you at $55k/year with the bonus amount.
- akhilcacharya 7y agothat's...that's like a 2/3 reduction at best
- icelancer 7y agoDepends on the initial pay. Not everyone on the Internet is making $150k.
- akhilcacharya 7y agosure, but it's a decrease for anybody working at Patreon.
- icelancer 7y agoNot sure how you can know that. Lot of support roles probably make less than that.
