Maybe they shouldn't have spent any money hiring the fucking Pinkertons? 🤷‍♂️

That's 1100 of 6400 employees. I'm sure there's little rhyme or reason to who got cut and who 'survived'.

I love the article highlighting how much the CEO made last year as he discusses this measure of last resort.

Useless trash CEO wrecking a company rather than just taking a pay cut.

I'm pretty sure the CEO makes more than all of those employees combined

Laughable to think he's doing more than a sixth of the company lol

Do you think they were going to layoff 1093 employees and thought, “screw it let’s find 7 more to make it even”?

[–] littlebluespark 1 points 11 months ago

More like their analysts advised laying off 7 and the execs replied, "Laying off 10 is gonna be easy, no one'll care about a measley 100 layoffs. No public outcry at such an unimportant 1000. You heard the man! 1100 it is!"
