What would happen if the brightest among those laid off from MAMAA/FAANG banned together to form an employee owned tech company? Would you participate ?

Literally just “form a tech company” because it’s that simple. What does the business do? Tech. Oh ok.

That's completely rational. What if you viewed it as a plan B where you could use your time working to pay the mortgage and participate in building a new company? Is it still a hard No?

I don't really think pampered laid off big tech corporate drones are necessarily the people you want running a new startup.

The poll seems to be agreeing with that statement at the moment as people answering No are taking the lead ☺️
