The issues with "enterprise offerings", is that they never tell about their "weakness, shorcomings or disadvantages" comparing to other tools. Why ?

I found it's kinda like an "asshole" behaviour, because it tricks people into illusion of a "one tool to do it all". The reality is not, far from truth.

Wait let me guess, the CEO is taking full responsibility but with no actual consequences?

Why should he face consequences? Instead he should focus on learning from the mistake so that the company can try to avoid making the same mistake again. Punishing him isn't going to solve any of the company's problems.

It gets to the point where it's hard to even know what to say about the nth tech layoff announcement.

It's a good reminder, if we needed one, of how fragile the good times are, for anyone who is an ordinary professional working in an economy like this. I wish there were something more concrete we could do to support each other - like something more concrete than "sure I would recommend people from my network for jobs once we aren't in a hiring freeze."

When you need to cull 28% of the headcount it signifies a huge fail over many many months, not just a one off miscalculation
