      What do you expect? Didn’t their CEO say work from home is shit, people don’t get things done that way, and they all need to be in the office?

        This is exactly what I expected. Lay offs and return to work policies are smoke and mirrors for managers trying to steady a sinking ship.

        Funny for a company that relies on it’s customers working from home.

        In other news the CEO of Philip Morris says, “cigarettes are not cool and kill people.”

        Even if there was any truth to the benefit of a shared workspace, why would this moron advocate for it? I swear CEOs are acting like the Producers more and more every day.

      So the company whose product helped facilitate remote work stock has returned to its pre-pandemic price? Not that surprising. Hardly on its last legs.

        Yes the markets love stagnation. I bet the investors who bought during the pandemic are thrilled!

        Lay offs must be the start of the journey, right?
