A friend of mine convinced me this was the FB strategy to get people to resign instead of needing to fire them (a costly, legal.minefield).
As a founder, the act of paralizying the company to effectively "bleed the fat off the bone" while cost effective, is insane. Because nothing gets done during those low morale months. I refused to believe this could be a valid strategy.
Then I was countered with: this org is already not shipping features or anything customers want anyway, so its not like it has any productivity to lose. Then proceeded to name Twitter as exhibit A of the argument.

I could not retort to that.
