The thing these brilliant people making these decisions don’t realize is that they are gonna lose the people they don’t want to lose. People who can find other jobs because they’re valuable people can easily find jobs; people who can’t find jobs will do more to stay.

I mean they are but it’s an extremely cushy layoff and if you’re out in a lower COL area your finances can stretch a bit more. Hell if I was one of those workers, I’d take it. Fuck going back to an office if they want to pay me to sleep in for half a year.
