A 150 person start-up is significantly more likely to 'pivot' in a way that makes a lot of roles or business lines redundant than Microsoft is.

The size of company doesn't matter to the point anyway - I used Microsoft as a well-known example so I could say 'imagine if they stopped doing GitHub' et al. I can't do that if I pick some random small start-up that I'm familiar with. (Maybe I could have said 'if Notion went all-in on AI' or something? But I wouldn't have had multiple examples.)

-- microsoft pivots - makes sense they still hire while laying off - if 150 person venture funded startup pivots - it does not - look at Prisma career page - they have 1 open job open - point i was making is - for ceo of small company - having this on linkedin - is tone deaf --
