| Oct 27, 2023 at 12:25 | comment | added | Proud anti-zionist | @EricDuminil It’s well deserved, after those tough decisions. | |
| Oct 27, 2023 at 10:39 | comment | added | Eric Duminil | Your questions are probably backwards. Senior leadership will get bonuses and raises this year, because they supposedly increased short term profitability™ thanks to the layoffs. | |
| Oct 24, 2023 at 20:11 | comment | added | anon | @Philippe -- This is the highest voted question (+106 / -0) without a response. From my perspective, it seems like a relatively objective answer which should be fairly easy. The silence seems like a deafening response in and of itself. I can only assume that a response may be unflattering/undesirable to answer. I'm profoundly disappointed. 👎 | |
| Oct 22, 2023 at 23:51 | comment | added | Robotnik | @BryKKan - I've yet to see layoffs that don't do this, clumsy or otherwise. | |
| Oct 22, 2023 at 11:03 | comment | added | BryKKan | @AdrianKlaver Does nobody care about the fact that clumsy layoffs often eliminate crucial knowledge, skills, and relationships which the company relies upon to support those underlying numbers? | |
| Oct 21, 2023 at 11:39 | comment | added | Philippe StaffMod | @EricDuminil - that's clever. Thanks for the saturday morning chuckle. | |

| Oct 17, 2023 at 22:56 | comment | added | anon | @AdrianKlaver --- That is certainly one possibility. I'm not here to speculate as to whether Prosus is seeking to sell Stack Overflow or not. My question is meant to distill whether the company is treating its employees (my former coworkers) with the compassion and respect they deserve.... | |
| Oct 17, 2023 at 21:11 | comment | added | user1423786 | SO is two years+ into a a buyout, the countdown is on to the investors flipping the company get their money out. Layoffs are the easy route to dress up the financials to get someone else to buy out the original investors. That is the long and short of what passes for a strategy. | |
| Oct 17, 2023 at 17:09 | comment | added | miken32 | This is the question. If "community" is so important to them, what % pay cut did the C-suite decline to take, that would have saved the CM jobs? I'd be willing to bet it's in the very low single digits. | |
