alt Hacker NewsAlmost 99% sure that They hired a consultant firm (MBB) that told them who to cut; this is pretty standard practice now at public tech corps. Especially if EMs weren’t in the loop. This looks like purely a margin improvement exercise thats hiding weaknesses in the company’s financial performance.

I’m sure they don’t know what they are doing or necessarily care, but I’m still curious what the consultants even claim to be looking at to make the list? Job description, git activity, team level profitability, salary, etc?

EMs are never in the loop for layoffs for companies of this size, because the whole company would just get forewarning of the layoffs
Wow! Is there any good read on that, like even if a "YouTube" show or something? This is quite interesting.
