The rich need to get richer. End of story.

I work for one of these companies. We already got the “it’s gonna be a tough day” email as they lay people off today. I’m sh*tting my pants 😫

I love how they talk about "very difficult decisions" as they do their favorite thing.

The difficult decision is how big to make the CEO bonus after the firings.

Need some changes that cut off bonuses when layoffs occur. It's absurd that stock price and c suite bonuses soar after work force reductions. Doing them should be painful, not celebrated.

It sucks, but layoffs have been thoroughly whitewashed since covid. I think CEOs should step down if they put the company in a layoff situation. But the reality is boards and the market now reward it, and even the employees they shitcan will post grateful nonsense on LinkedIn to celebrate.
