- twblalock 4y agoThat's true, and I mentioned that what Google is doing now is also demoralizing, but consider the following: With layoffs, you either get screwed or you don't. With company-wide pay cuts, everyone gets screwed.
- Apocryphon 4y agoThe ones who get screwed with layoffs aren't just the ones who let go. They're the ones who have to stay and clean up the mess afterwards. Also it opens up the floodgates to the possibility of further layoffs, where you might still get screwed.
