Basecamp had 57 employees at the time of their announcement. Are they down to -3?
- brown9-2 5y agoIt’s a sum
- crackercrews 5y agoCoinbase alone lost 60 employees. [1] Doesn't seem like a sum. Also not phrased right. Should have been "together" not "each". 1: https://www.forbes.com/sites/rachelsandler/2020/10/08/60-employees-leave-coinbase-over-ceos-pledge-to-be-apolitical/?sh=789b43a75a06 https://www.forbes.com/sites/rachelsandler/2020/10/08/60-emp...
- shkkmo 5y agoThat's not what the quote says. It clearly states that EACH company lost 60 employees. If the intent was to convey a sum then it would have needed to use words like "combined" "total" or "sum" or at the ambigous minimum noy included the "each" word that exclused the "sum" meaning from consideration.
