"Good point. If they're wanting to part ways with 25% of the workforce now, covering 3 months of full salary and 12 months of expensive healthcare, they must be expecting fundamental market shifts."
Why? Can't they rehire the people they laid off during this period?
- jlbnjmn 6y agoAfter rereading the article, it appears the layoffs are isolated to side projects. So it looks like just a healthy focus on the actual business. And for everyone previously asking why they needed so many employees, the answer is apparently they didn't.
