Lol, the CEO fucked each and every one of these people over. Restructuring, my ass.

Totally. The classic MBA move of firing important people who’s role he doesn’t understand, seeing short term gains from lack of salaries, and exits the company just in time for it to tank because it can’t operate without those people. Walks away with a few cool million, on to his next company to suck dry.

Those stock grants aren't going to grant themselves son. Literally Lord Farquad. "Some of you may die, but that is a sacrifice I'm willing to make."

Yep, and now they will struggle to get new talent and the ones that can will likely leave as they don't feel safe. I feel sorry for the employees, but this is how it's supposed to work. Future ceos of other companies might think twice before screwing over customers and other devs.

So it sucks for their affected, but it should be a net benefit to the industry long term.
