That's an interesting metric worth considering.
- lostlogin 4y agoIt really is, but it’s also a little crazy that a company could lose 50% of its staff and keep working.
- bigmattystyles 4y agoBut companies like twitter, until it was taken private at least, heavily depend on growth and adapting to emerging trends. You might keep the platform 'running' as is, but not more than that. I don't disagree that companies have people not pulling their weight but when there are large layoffs, the future of a company is, as the kids say, 'sus'. (Did I use that right?)
- lostlogin 4y agoDid Twitter heavily depend on growth? They seemed to flat line for an awfully long time.
- bigmattystyles 4y agoI guess not growth, but the potential for growth - as an investor, it's what I look for. If growth is already happening, then it's likely already priced in. If growth is not expected to happen, then unless there's a generous dividend, there is no reason to hold a stock. But if as an investor, you thought Twitter (when public) was primed for growth, it might have made a good bet as an investment. As it stands, I don't see it having any potential for growth, but again, the Twitter example is moot, as it's not public.
- sp332 4y agoI mean, I'm glad it's working for you, but things have been breaking since the layoffs.
- lostlogin 4y agoTouché. I never used it much and find Musk repellent. As you say, ‘working’ is used loosely.
- jasonlotito 4y agoObjectively, it really isn't.
