  "AI means smaller, differently resourced teams in product and engineering can make a bigger impact than ever. Fewer layers means faster decisions. Flatter is better, and our new structure will optimize for this." Edit: Sounds like the Coinbase post from the other day. Old text: Sounds like the "Building for the future" Cloudflare post from the other day.

    That's old hat. CEOs have said after every layoff since 1985.

  > First: these actions are not taking place today. We will be notifying everyone next week about whether their role is impacted this seems like a pretty terrible way to do a layoff. announce on a Thursday "25% of you will be laid off" but wait until some unspecified time next week for the actual notifications? this is going to cause a lot of unnecessary stress and anxiety among the 75% who are staying. if I was in that group, it would not boost my confidence in the company's leadership.
