Wow. This is the most amazing take I have seen. It is truly boggling to see somebody trying to lay this at the feet of the employees. It’s not that activist billionaire, shareholders are demanding layoffs. It’s the workers fault for wanting a share of the pie and not just taking what they’re given quietly and meekly. You’re right, it’s not a class struggle. For it to be a struggle both parties have to recognize that it’s actually a struggle. This argument would make sense if the companies doing the layoffs were largely unprofitable, and not spending huge sums of money on stock buybacks and inflated executive salaries. |

I keep seeing this idea that people need to work harder and you’ve got the Mark Zuckerberg‘s of the world pushing this idea that the Meta employees aren’t working hard enough and that’s why they are flailing. Not that the actual core strategy and shit like the Metaverse are bullshit. Or Google that has had some thing like 3 to 5 different chat systems over the past 10 years and utterly baffling product strategies along with a reputation of killing products or neglecting them.
But it’s clearly the employees fault and it doesn’t have a damn thing to do with completely bullshit leadership.
