Similar to what Musk did at Twitter with his “extremely hardcore” directive.

Maybe we’ll soon see Samsung executives post pictures of how they’re sleeping under their office desks on a Saturday night, like happened at Twitter.

The manager who posted those pictures was laid off from Twitter anyway a few months later. Performative crisis mode probably isn’t very useful to anyone.

It certainly makes it easier to fire people, which may be the whole point here
