    Layoffs are a leadership failure so should always be accompanied by firing them too

      They only do this for end of year bonuses for shareholders and the C level folks. They don’t give a single shit about who it affects. People’s lives were ruined over this.

    It’s just insane to me that it even takes 1500 people to run Spotify to begin with

      Techwise it probably doesn’t, but then there’s marketeers, sales, accountants, legal, etc…

      I can see the need for those engineers but more importantly, Spotify needs sales people.

    He and the shareholders still made a ton of money. They will do it again so they can make a ton more money.

    He doesn’t care and never will.
