The vast majority of tech companies having hiring freezes or layoffs are the ones that overexpanded post-pandemic. You throw money at people when the money is good, and the hose dries up during a recession.

Except if you don't give the signal within 5 seconds of your ride ending, it immediately restarts the ride with you on it.

If the employees were not being productive, that would show up in their KPIs and reviews and they would be fired. That process already exsists so you can't use it as a scapegoat. This is squarely about leadership's poor planning.

From what I understand, Netflix doesn't cull the herd — they get rid of good (but not excellent) performers too. The article is talking about actually cullung the herd and getting rid of the mediocre performers who previously could skate by.

I feel like I am taking crazy pills having this conversation. Regular evil is letting the air out of someone's tires or lying to your spouse, not wasting away the life savings of hundreds of people.
