I don’t understand why this industry does layoffs. Especially these “we’re gonna fire 15% of our staff but you don’t know who and can stew in panic for a few weeks!”. It feels incredibly inhumane, like something in twenty years we’ll be aghast we did.

Just cut compensation by 15% for everyone, say “sorry for not steering our ship better, we’re gonna do our best to weather this storm together, if you can find higher pay elsewhere we totally get it, sorry for fucking up”.

Being unemployed in this country is a cruelty I cannot comprehend inflicting this casually.
