Not sure what thread you're referring to. I suppose maybe some people did think this wouldn't happen? But Zuckerberg publicly announced he was doing this flattening over a month ago. (Though we didn't the numbers until now.)

- elicash 4y agoSeems like people were only skeptical of the specific dates given by an anonymous Blind user, just on the basis that it's an anonymous user. That's likely a good thing, even if it happened to be accurate! They weren't skeptical that layoffs were coming aimed at a flattening, which makes sense since this was already announced by Zuckerberg over a month ago.
