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 also don't let them hide behind "atlassian leadership"

Put their actual names "Mike Cannon Brookes, Shona Brown, Scott Belsky... With 300,000 paying customers... Layed off 1600 people"

@emily_s @gnomon include their income and wealth too
