I wonder if DPReview was even losing money? Or if Amazon just had some layoff target, and shutting it down would not be that disruptive to other operations, and who cares if it was self-sustaining and diverted zero resources from anything else
One argument for European-style labor protections is to prevent management from making economically irrational layoff decisions to placate activist investors who are trying to loot the company
@bergmayer@dpp I am not sure that would have helped DPReview. Even in Germany, closure of an entire business unit is acceptable - it’s firing individuals that is trickier.
