But why did the CEO hire all these useless people in the first place if they are so competent? Why did it take until now to fire them?

- FredPret 4y agoWho says they’re competent?
- bart_spoon 4y agoSo 20% of Shopify employees were incompetent? Why were they hired then? It’s mismanagement either way. Edit: I clearly misunderstood the above exchange

- kalleboo 4y agoSo layoff the CEO if he made such an egregious judgement call as to hire 1 in 5 too many staff
- shmatt 4y agoThe unspoken part in many of these layoffs, is that hiring people based on 5 back to back zooms, 50% leetcode, 50% STAR-method situational questions, means you have absolutely no idea how these people will actually work in the real world

- xur17 4y agoThe CEO isn't an all knowing entity. It's possible they made a judgement call and were wrong. Would you prefer that companies be absolutely sure before they hire anyone to ensure layoffs never happen? It seems like the end result would be less hiring / more people without work.
