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 they have no shame that's how they get into these positions. Legislate and regulate. I'm personally thinking "if a company does more than total X layoffs in a financial year then it is illegal to issue bonuses or share dividends" that will show these smug psychopaths.
