    I’d say that they’re “cooking the books” as in: making it look like they’re in better shape than they are by cutting costs, but causing irreparable damage to themselves that will manifest in the long run.

    I’ve survived 3 layoffs at Spotify last year alone. Once I started working there It didn’t take long to be proud and feel happy about it. Now, although people still find it cool when I tell them and I still do the same job (no workload increase), I know it is just like any other greedy corpo and I feel compelled to care less and less.

      I just survived layoffs this week and I now give zero fucks about the company. People are scared and angry now… It’s really not a good way to get the most out of your employees

    They are “thriving” because of layoffs, there is no more direct path to increase profits than to stop paying employees

    For now. We are looking at the short term short sighted part of this right now and they will seem like they are thriving for a bit but, they were massive burnout factories to begin with. But increasing everyone’s workload Im sure will have absolutely no effect on that right…
