Hard to think that those writing great code would be open to be abused, giving how in demand their skills are.
- faefox 4y agoHe keeps firing even the engineering staff that survived the first wave of layoffs. It seems like a stretch on his part to think that those left (who, again, just watched a ton of their colleagues/friends be laid off or summarily terminated) are going to put up with the promise of even worse treatment going forward.
- joegahona 4y ago> Hard to think that those writing great code would be open to be abused, giving how in demand their skills are. Are they? The layoffs in tech have been... extensive. Engineers are more in demand than journalists right now, but the climate now is pretty dubious compared with only a few months ago.
- guerrilla 4y agoSurely if they're the best, they can get a job somewhere else, probably for lower pay, where they aren't abused, regardless of the macroeconomic situation.
