I know it's in fashion to have a cutesy name for your employees these days, but "Dutonian" is really stretching it haha.

It is a bit silly, but I kinda like it. I'm generally pretty anti-koolaid, but having a shared unique term for yourself and your coworkers seems like a reasonable way to build some positive tribalism, even if it's a stretch linguistically.

I think I respect that at least one of the executives whose responsibility it was to NOT let this happen is being exited out. Google and others have babbled on about executives taking full responsibility for the layoffs, but I don't see any of the key SVPs or VPs taking hits on failing in their leadership.

Also I understand they say to pursue other opportunities, but I think the reason for the CRO departure feels transparent enough here.
