Is every CEO trying to emulate Gavin Belson nowadays?

Also, if they're laying off 31%, how come "We're hiring!" is still next to their careers link in the footer?

I was about to make a joke in poor taste that the person who normally updates the website was impacted...But, nah, the wound is too fresh.

Separately, well before all of these layoffs that are in the news...like many months ago, i have begun to see little things like what you reported, where companies are not keeping up with small areas to update. I remarked this to a friend and they believed that they started seeing this both online and offline during around the worst of the pandemic - when most things were on super lock down...And if so, then i can imagine this being pandemic-driven....but NOW with these layoffs, i imagine we'll be seeing this alot more. Granted as a customer (or job candidate in this case), its a minor inconvenience, especially since real people are being more severely impactedf by layoffs. But of course the guess for why this is happening is likely due to simeply a lack of people, or a diverting of attention top others areas of a business. Yeesh!

Presumably by hiring different skills then they’re firing.
