      May even be intentional. That’s a nice way to fire half your staff without actually firing anyone.

          Also likely their most expensive half. If the app is mostly feature-complete and in maintenance mode, they may believe the juniors can handle it. Whether they actually can or not is TBD.

        Yes, 100% intentional. Musk has done this a couple times

      This is literally the point. “Entitled tech workers childishly resign over requests to return to office” is a much, much better headline then “Grindr lays off half its staff”.

      They’re doing it on purpose. It’s no longer about some old school mentality of "butts in seats " and micromanaging…these companies have realized this is a way to massively cut costs without the hit in stock price/public opinion.

      We need to stop falling for this “they are so old fashioned lol” narrative, because they’re all more than happy to let you believe that.
