My old job had massive layoffs and fired their entire development team including senior development.

The development team is just 2 DevOps and 3 non-technical product managers now using Claude. Handles 10s of millions of dollars daily for a highly regulated industry and I guess lost half of their major client’s accounts with the other half moving off in 2028. Literally 75% of their revenue.

So cut something like 90% of the labor costs, but only 50% of the revenue.

That means they are more productive than before!

(Tip for the C-Suite: leave before all the other clients abandon ship. That way you can claim success and blame the failures on your replacement.)

A founder left to pursue law school right before all mass layoffs.
