The 1-2 layoffs rto makes me supremely skeptical. It makes the layoffs look less like a business decision & more like conditioning for various abuse, such as aggressive RTO.

Wow, for a company who's mission is to enable transportation from point A to B across the globe this is pretty nuts. So the employees are supposed to work from a physical location in SF to SSH into us-east-1 machine & debug something that went wrong on trip in Boseman, MT?

This whole boomer management level cannot handle that FOSS projects, outsourcing, freelancing & initial stages of entrepreneurship happens from anywhere apart from a physical office location.....

Coordinated abuse by tech companies. Will last till the next boom.

How long before he flips? You'd have to pay me $300k min to move back to the Bay Area

it's already over for this company -- they held on way too long. all this thrashing is just embarrassing.

maybe Ford or GM or another big player might want them? Tesla?

if not, try and get a few pennies on the dollar from Uber.
