It's a way to inject "office heroics" via fear, but it also has its limits. Once the burnout sets in, everyone is just part of the death march at that point, seeing the product or the company to its slow demise.
- brutus1213 2y agoI think a sad part of the calculus is there are lots of bodies willing to be thrown in the grinder. The only danger is a real competitor with a different business model that lets them treat people better. Case in point is AWS. I've been reading they are a PIP factory for the last couple of years. Doesn't seem like they have a major issue hiring (partly due to lack of a competitor who is doing better).

- ryandrake 2y agoThis is one of those things that Software Engineers don't believe until there is an extended Bear market: There is always a line of eager beavers outside your company's door just waiting to take your place if you leave. The last decade (especially the hot job market of 2020-2022) lulled everyone into a feeling of job security and even irreplaceability.
