I'm always amazed with how big tech companies get in terms of employee count. I once wandered the engineering area of the HQ (with an employee) of a FAANG (MAANG sounds... silly) and made a tick mark on my notebook when I saw someone actually coding - or at least having code on screen. There were over 1200 people on the development team and at the time most worked out of HQ. So... when I was done walking, I had 22 ti…

Yes, but haven't you heard that productivity has gone up since we've moved to WFH? You'd probably have like 30-40 tick marks now if you toured all their homes.
Yeah i don’t think this is true though people love to say it is true Productivity is a very subjective term Are you making more dollars for less money? This is productivity, everything else doesn’t matter
Im pretty sure LOC/person went down a lot with the pandemic across all companies.

More likely: Worried about runway given difficultly of raising capital, cutting down to ensure burn-rate assumes capital isnt raised.
With profits, shouldn't you have an infinite runway?

Scale up rapidly and then mass fire the bottom 10-25% of performers. This is a well known tactic.
I only saw the highest paid/everyone in HCOL area and in many cases it was the top performers of the team.

Same. I'd have fired all the employees /s
I would say firing 25% would be enough assuming you start from the top down. User hostile software usually hostile by design.
Actual compliance would require removing all the trackers & other bullshit and then you no longer need a "consent management platform", therefore this company ceases to exist and 100% of the employees are let go.
If you ask people whether they want to be tracked (in a GDPR-compliant way, which involves listing all the data points collected, how is it stored & used and with whom it is shared) 99% of people will outright say no, therefore the best course of action is to remove the trackers and no need for this company to exist at all.
They employ ~4000 people? What on earth where they all doing?
The current recession suggests the investor money is becoming scarce and you actually need to find other sources of income, so all the useless complexity is being cut back.
