@soop Yeah, that’s generally bullshit in this context. All else being equal, for any software project large enough for two people to work on it at once, that’s just plain wrong

Also, they aren’t laying off people with less skill and dedication, they’re laying off expensive labour, who are generally the opposite, and they aren’t just laying off developers

There are literally a bunch of studies on this going back decades. Mass lay offs are extremely disruptive and leave an organisation worse off
