> Shopify laid off 20% of its global workforce today — its second sizeable employee culling after a reduction of 10% announced last July. -- https://techcrunch.com/2023/05/04/how-shopify-bungled-its-la...

I'd like to make an HN grassroots proposal... that people impose a moratorium period on indulging a company's PR attempts to sell their enlightened management culture, right after something like that.

Layoffs looks like either a huge fudge-up that screws employees, or screwing employees as a greedy or dumb business move.

In neither scenario is it in the interests of the hiring pool to pretend it didn't happen.
