Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

This guy right here is the reason some 1,500 jobs were lost from Spotify.
Talk about overpaid piece of shit.
Wonder if the guy who greenlit this shit idea also saw the axe
I hope that guy received the none metaphorical kind
I don’t see reports on a direct connection - remember where you heard that?
Not the original commenter here but this one doesn't make a direct connection, but certainly says Spotify blew money poorly that they are trying to make up for, although it mainly mentions cuts in podcasts. This one make s bit more of a correlation saying "The cancellations coincide with jobs cuts at Spotify Monday that eliminated 17% of the streaming company’s staff, or around 1,500 people. Spotify has undertaken several rounds of job cuts since October 2022. " https://fortune.com/2023/12/04/spotify-podcasts-cancelled-heavyweight-stolen/ However you're not going to find much more than that because it would require a degree of openness and honest that a shitty company isn't going to give. So it's hard to say a direct connection doesn't exist when all the data on that is kept secret by the people who profit from it.
