My man, all these fuckers use the same parasitic management consultancies. That's why all this shit looks the same.

Time to watch Office Space again?

  • "I'm an agent person. I'm good at dealing with the agents! Can't you understand that?! What the hell is wrong with you people?! I'm good at dealing with the agents!"

    • That line is so damn good i recommend everyone who doesn't get it to watch Office Space.

  • Honestly, Office Space looks like a dream job compared to normal practices. Imagine getting your own cubicle! That would be amazing!

"Management consultancies" that make sense. I thought that maybe all these higher-up people know each other and share a common "Slack group"

Cloudflare has never made a profit.

Is your stance that shareholders should perpetually subsidize it out of the goodness of their hearts?

  • My stance is this: Fine, maybe you need to restructure for profit reasons. If that is the case, then it is also beholden upon the people doing the layoffs to understand their responsibility in that.

    In an ideal world, a layoff of this scale would also require a shakeup of the management that let it get this bad in the first place.

    What's more, the higher up the chain, the less onerous the layoff for the individual getting laid off.

    • Why should people who are profitable to employ be laid off as well?

      It just sounds like you're upset and want to hurt whoever you feel is responsible for making you upset. That's not a productive stance to have on important topics.

  • Cloudflare has never made a profit? The thread commentator said the product he maintained was 95% profit.

    • My orgs products. Others, probably not. There is a lot water they could have targeting and gone after. Starting with Dane's idiotic incomplete messes he left around and declaring them done and leaving people to clean his garbage up

      Leadership is terrible and they're out of ideas. AI is going to be the future but it can't even review code properly

      Their "no profit" is entire accounting trickery
