Sindarina, Edge Case DetectiveJan 20, 2023

I am annoyed at how much coverage of these recurring "Big Gorilla lays off around 10.000 people" is basically just a rehash of the company press release, with not a single journalist asking how it's possible that all of these big tech companies made the same exact mistake of hiring too many people, while simultaneously showing record profits.

Like, if a 'rigorous review' finds 12.000 redundancies, why does nobody question leadership about how this was allowed to happen?

Not one critical note.

@sindarina Don’t expect anybody to ask questions. The media has been so thoroughly purged over the past few decades that all you have left are underpaid interns and grizzled veterans who know better than to question the corporate line.
