And they were on my linkedin last year trying to hire me. Seriously, these companies doesnt deserve any sympathy, they do terrible planing which costs people livelihoods like it’s nothing for them.

I doubt it they announced layoff at same period last year. It’s way to get a nice bump during earning release showing how much $$ they saved.

Lol. What state of current affairs do you think the war machine is going bankrupt. Must be a nice peaceful zen in that world
