“sharpen our focus and improve the way we work together to bring more agility to our organization.”
Ahh yes, watching co-workers get laid off does wonders for improving the way you work together with the people still there.
It does make you work harder... at finding some other job:-P.
Not exactly a stellar market to be looking in. Chances are that you'll be trading down, especially if you're in some level of big tech, like Discord arguably is.
What a load of PR wank
Right? Sharpening focus and working together have zero to do with how many people you employ.
This was about profits. It's always about profits.
Or maybe if has something to do with the limited availability of VC money. If you can’t find people to throw free money at your company, you need to figure out a way to actually make it profitable. You know, like a normal business…
After 15 rounds and 995.4 M$, maybe it’s about time.
