You've now brought value judgement and morality into the discussion, and neither apply here. The blogger said Meyer acted on an email complaint about the turnstiles. The commenter said that's incorrect, that Meyer decided to have

Layoffs suck, but in some cases they're necessary. It doesn't really have anything to do with being nice or mean. The alternatives include treating people poorly and laying them off, or treating them well and not performing the to

I tend to agree. But why don't people want to strap something to their face? Is it the physical discomfort of the straps and the weight of the headset? That can be incrementally improved. Is it the way the display cuts them off from
