What is the distinction between excuse and justification for a public company? We always know their motive, which is to maximize profit. If they believe growth is going to slow/end, then it makes sense to slash some people. An occasional culling seems like a healthy thing for a huge company to do. If we knew how to predict future needs perfectly and how to hire quality people perfectly, then sure we could avoid this, but that is impossible.
- neon_electro 4y agoCan we acknowledge that predicting the future is impossible, AND that the over-hiring and over-confidence in the moves "a huge company" makes is unsustainable and ultimately makes these places less desirable to work at? I sure as hell am not applying to anywhere that had layoffs - I don't want to reward those places with my labor.
