Owning it doesn’t make it less of a shit move.

Canning people when you do well is just a way to milk the cow that others raised for you. Plus it shows a blatant lack of imagination and foresight.

I just hope the remaining employees realize they’re in an ejectable seat and stop working for people like that. It’s only a matter of time the founders sell to Bending Spoons for a final paycheck and everyone else is out.

Yeah but the purpose of a company is not to employ people, it is to make money. The employment is a means to an end. If the money continues to flow without the people, that is better.

I can imagine creating a system designed to allocate profits to a broader set of stakeholders, but that's not the system we have.

It's called a co-op.

So we shouldn't call it a shit move? I'm not sure what your point is.

a company's purpoe is profits not being a socialist scheme to support people
