Because hiring people and paying them a salary is somehow hurting those people?

No but purposely forcing economic hardship on people when you're one of the most profitable entities on earth will always be a shitty thing. I'm sorry but treating workers like replaceable cogs is disgusting behavior and I'm not shocked that big tech routinely turns to anti-worker devices to enforce control.

Nobody is forcing anything to happen. People chose to work there. They get paid a HUGE amount of money. Now their projects ended or whatever.

What world do you live in? Suicide? Crazy talk.

I'm not sure the 3 version of your account is going to fare better than the last[0] if you don't find a better way to contribute to the community.

I like how the account is just nothing but attacking workers while supporting the rich, classic VC mindset.

		Attacking? Nowhere did I attack anybody. Explaining what a layoff is not "attacking". If you are offended by market economics I suggest you get thicker skin.

Man if you don't understand how unemployment leads to suicide you are truly a privilege individual. I honestly envy you now.
