- kjs3 11y agoThose articles are from January, and Cringley said 25% of the workforce would be gone by Feb. It never happened. There have been layoff, and one day in the future it might amount to 100k, but nothing like 100k people in a month, or 5. Typical Cringley "take this little fact, coat thickly with histrionics and invective to drive clicks, and declare yourself a genius insider when the little fact turns out to be true".
