That "all PR is good PR" kinda only applies to actors. Some random startup that does God knows what (probably not very much if their leadership is so shit) doesn't benefit from having a massive scandal come up every time you Google them. Most technical people don't use the same criteria to purchase SaaS software that they use to purchase tabloids
- jMyles 4y agoSorry if I was unclear: I didn't mean to suggest that this is PR for PR's sake, because of a belief that all PR is good. She probably correctly believes that a) layoffs will increase short-term valuation, and that her vile characterization of the layoffs will get more eyeballs on the part of the letter that begins, "We expect to finish the year strong". It's an extremely simple money play. She probably drafted an apology letter alongside this one, which she'll issue in a few days, by which time the goals of this letter will have been achieved. The play seems relatively transparent to me.
