Oh you think things are great at a company that just did a 50% layoff haphazardly?

- simondotau 4y agoWhat is your evidence that it was haphazard?
- ulfw 4y agoThe fact that they're starting to realize their fuckup (among many other reasons such as not giving advanced warning as so legally required etc). https://twitter.com/CaseyNewton/status/1589075543420325888 https://twitter.com/CaseyNewton/status/1589075543420325888
- simondotau 4y agoSo by your definition, a fuckup is when something isn't done absolutely perfectly? Let's be realistic for a moment here; surely it would be WAY more remarkable if a company laid off 3,700 employees and exactly zero mistakes were made. What level of error would be sufficient to warrant the haphazard descriptor? Two percent? One percent? A company like Twitter is complex, and it's very likely that some number of people are important in a way which cannot be seen from a top-down view. Hence error correction. It's a good thing. I see it as a healthy sign that Twitter management are identifying and rectifying their mistakes so quickly.
