!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Printing resumes, I would imagine. Their CEO just announced to the world he envies Musk's cost-cutting techniques, which primarily involved laying off most of the workforce. Anyone with half a brain should be doing their best to GTFO.
Ever just have one of those jobs where you hate it so much you spend so much time in the toilet pretending to take a shit because you just can't function there?
Multiply that by 29-30 days a month. Probably that.

Spotify has more than 8000 employees. I can't fathom what they could possibly contribute to the product.
But spotify works on pretty much any device out there, it has a pretty good UI and works fairly well overall, so we can at least see where some of their effort is going

Well, there is the guy that makes the coffee, and then there's the guy who makes his coffee and the guy who makes his ... you get the gist.
Jokes aside, I don't get it either. Sure, they need a certain amount of employees to run the company, but I would've never thought they are more than maybe 500.
It's just Gregs all the way down

Don't underestimate the amount of people needed to work in a website, a website, what the regular user see is just an interface to a system, and beyond that there can be an intricate company behind with technical complexity, finance, hr, sales, customer care and many other departments.
I work in tech and people that had no knowledge at all of my industry assume it takes 1 or 2 people to run a website and get amazed 1000+ people may be necessary to run the entire company.
I think their team doubled during COVID too.
What they could have done is you know, actually make things people have to use bot accounts to do, like a barebones calendar to replace remindme, or automod, or integrate RES (seriously, I don't understand why they used SPA with React and made everything so slow)
Maybe waiting for its eventual demise?
A lot of IT companies do that, they probably write a lot of documentation and hold meetings and do studies and quality checks. One person could skip all those steps but might be harder for another developer to continue their work depends though.
They aren't thinking ahead, that's for sure. They could have mitigated many of the issues they're having right now with their desired action path, had they planned ahead and mitigated issues in advance.
