Layoffs are always, always, always a sign of an unhealthy company, regardless of how Wall Steet reacts.

Or layoffs mean some exec wants to save money by outsourcing so he can get a bonus

[–] [email protected] 21 points 7 months ago

An exec being able to do that without being questioned is not healthy. OP's point stands.

They’re going to get bonuses anyway.

15 years with geek squad and you're not wrong, I got caught up in these layoffs and thought I'm stressed the high hell, I'm not surprised. There wasn't work to do, I was struggling to barely get 30 hours.

They recently changed there subscription modle and people stopped scheduling on site jobs.

Without having looked at any of the subscription changes, my guess is they increased subscription costs with minimal if any increases in offered services. Is that correct?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago

Nope, actually lowered the price of the subscription, lowered the discount on the services the sub was for, and raised the prices of the services.
