We can avoid all these problems if we refuse to use any software that doesn't come with a license that respects your freedom:

  • GPL
  • MIT
  • APACHE

SEO destroyed the search providers, and now that search is useless, seo has become useless.

layoffs would not be the bellwether for that.

I guess we can at least agree, that even if a company doing lay offs isn't necessarily going belly up, a company that is going belly up is probably doing some lay offs along the way.

However going beyond the point we agree over... what if a lay off sets in motion a series of chain reactions:

  • reduced investor/shareholder confidence -> possibly stock/company-value tanking -> -> leading to issues with the lowered valuation and their debt, worse credit rating(?)
  • destroyed worker moral -> the best workers are more likely to leave, workers who remain having to shoulder their burden
  • less team members have to shoulder much more work (usually for the same pay)

I am sure there are other factors and maybe some of those three above are not a factor at all..

are dying simultaneously.

Why isn't it possible?

The cost of servicing debt has exploded.

Didn't they just do several rounds of layoff?

I guess layoffs are a sign of a dying company...
