Soft layoffs

• aliqot 4y ago
  It'd be stupid to go straight to layoffs and have to pay those people when you can eliminate all of the ones already on the fence without as much cost. Mark my words, I am confident they'll let go 7-10% next.

    Interesting approach but presumably it only makes sense if they've got little concern about who leaves, which would only be rational if they were cutting deep.

      The upper management doesn't care about who leaves, as their goal is to force attrition.

    They already did a 10% layoff in January. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/01/04/technology/salesforce-layoffs.html https://www.nytimes.com/2023/01/04/technology/salesforce-lay...

      Twilio is on their second layoff, it would not be surprising to see others do the same.

        Twilio has never made a cent of profit and is losing ~1billion per QUARTER. Not comparable to salesforce in any way.

  Or, more in line with recent bs terms: Quiet-firing
