I don't get it. Call me naive, but when a team is dismantled because of change in business priorities, people don't get fired. Unless the company is shrinking, valuable employees are reassigned to different teams.

- IG_Semmelweiss 4y agoId wager that given the sizes of the organizations involved, there is enough breadth and surface area to have fungible roles. Even the CEO can be replaced with another key employee. So i think parent is onto something with comment. And I think that's also the elephant in the room that no one talks about. Why did this specific set of employees end up working in said team?
