Not "Atlassian laid off 1,600 people, 10% of its workforce"

But rather: "Atlassian leadership, with 300,000+ paying customers & ~5.2 billion USD in revenue & 6+ billion USD in assets in 2025, failed to line up their financial projections with their own staffing projections, and acted to place the burden of this gap on their direct reports rather than leadership, executive compensation packages, assets, or shareholders"

Layoffs should be personally mortifying. Boards should change.

For shame.

@gnomon there should be enforced followups after mass layoffs to assess social impact on those effected. with the number of people that often get layed off at a time by these huge corps, at least one suicide each time whether the ex-employee or those close to them as a result of life stressor changes wouldn't surprise me.
@gnomon only further evidence for holding nuremberg trials for the ruling class...
