No, Microsoft was supposed to time their announcement of large lay off so as it not be days after a private concert for executives because it looks bad and gives a bad impression on the company and not doing that is part of what executives are paid for.
I don’t understand why this site seems so full of apologists every time an article is published rightfully criticising a large American company.
Are you all that loyal to your masters? They are not going to pet you you know.
- imperfect_blue 4y agoBecause a minor coordination failure across an enormous company is...not worth chastising them over? Because if you cry wolf too many times about trivial innocuous issues, nobody will believe you when companies are actively being evil? My default assumption on seeing this sort of headline is already "outrage bait".
- WastingMyTime89 4y ago> a minor coordination failure across an enormous company We are talking about the CEO announcing the firing of 5% of the workforce. If you call that a minor coordination failure, I think there is some massive recalibration you should be doing. At that point, I think it’s unlikely we will ever find a common ground. This is not and will never be an innocuous issue.
