Interesting guess, but citation needed.
- ActionHank 3y agoYou will never get confirmation or citations for this sort of thing. What you can do is think for yourself as a dev in that team, would you stick around?
- pavel_lishin 3y ago> What you can do is think for yourself as a dev in that team, would you stick around? Are paychecks still coming in, and do I still have a mortgage to pay?
- ActionHank 3y agoMost people move between jobs.
- mlyle 3y agoYou'd stick around until when the Figma team is expected to replace you, and not take any proactive steps to better your situation in the meantime? And you'd work just as hard, too?
- pavel_lishin 3y ago> And you'd work just as hard, too? I never said that.
- mlyle 3y agoWell, this is why groups in this situation struggle to make forward progress. People are uncertain of their jobs (even with promises) and look for work elsewhere. And even if they stay, they feel their work doesn't matter, and it's hard to work under those circumstances.
- mlyle 3y agoEven if they didn't make business changes in anticipation of this... Imagine you're one of the top employees working on a product, and that your company announces it's going to acquire a competitive product to yours for $20B and replace your product with that product, and this is looming for 15 months. Are you still employed there in that group? Are you still an effective employee? How's morale?
