Due to the recent news of other tech companies making their employees work nights and weekends before laying them off, it is easy to interpret your earlier message such that Stripe did the same.
- filoleg 4y ago> recent news of other tech companies making their employees work nights and weekends Are there any companies aside from Twitter that would fall under this? Because that's the only one I've seen mentioned in the news that way, but you make it sound like there are plenty others. So I was curious if I simply missed something.

It's not necessarily to eke out a bit of productivity, per se, but they're essentially throwing hail marys in the hope that something will happen. Of course, when it inevitably doesn't they axe a few and the rest go back to work.
- filoleg 4y agoFair, I agree. For SV startups though, "working day and night" seems to be a fairly common scenario, not specific to these past few months.
