#142Maybe it's just the segment I'm in, but I feel like Salesforce was hiring pretty hard up until recently. They wouldn't be the only company to go from a hiring spree to layoffs that quickly over the last quarter. We really need to lock this absurdity down and increase severance requirements for large companies heavily. It's one thing to gamble risk for the company, it's something completely different to gamble employe…
If you do that companies will be more reluctant to hire, since they’ll have to factor in the risk of paying a hefty severance.
Where's the efficiency for employee or employer?

Either that or they see something the rest of us don't when looking at economic data (a long recession).

Wouldn't that have the same problem? You'd need to break either down by cost of living area to solve it.
No because the revenue per employee multiple has the employee costs scaled on both sides of the ratio.
