Well, if the company gets fined for mismanaging or committing fraud, who do you think they will fire?
A scapegoat is very important.
10 to 20 percent of the workforce, so the CEO still can get a bonus.
Exactly. This is America. 40% and install AI if it's 2025 or later.
Yuuuup. My last company let go of 20% in a single round of layoffs
So you were part of the 20%? Or did you just nope tf out?
I read the writing on the wall and jumped ship
Sounds like a good call on your part, yeah.
