So much for that hire 3,000 people! Hiring Freezes ALWAYS come 1 to 2 Quarters BEFORE layoffs. Freeze are one of the few levers companies have before layoffs, the challenge is that attrition is a real thing and existing employees are over worked.

Look at the corporate raiders of the 1980s. Firing people, loading up a company with debt. And taking them bankrupt makes a ton of money for private equity. No product required, immensely profitable!

There are F500 companies that have built Decades old businesses that to this day run on MS Access. See the move to PowerPlatform.com for access workloads. One of the largest maintenance/cleaning companies for hospitals across the US still has 1,000s of forms submitted in access every day.

The problem with Amortization in the consumer space is the lifetime of the device. Sure, you can keep running a computer for year 6 instead of the standard 5 years...but 90% of consumers don't - What machines from 2016 are you using today? If you do, let's get serious you're already looking to upgrade in the near future, no?

$50M of opportunity for the founders to next time burn $500M on their friends. ;-)

Or you know you could enjoy having a brief conversation about sports, or the weather, or their kids, or the latest celebrity gossip while waiting.

At the places I go to frequently I'm on a first name basis and I see the photos of their kids and share about what's going on in my life.

Face-to-face interactions are much more social than nameless, faceless, speaker boxes.

Think of it as a chance to make 4 people smile, briefly laugh, and get your food. Hopefully those 4 people can make you smile, laugh, and have a tasty meal!

Sounds horrible, no more details needed. [redacted]

1) I'm sure every one of these companies got 0% interest rates in 2021 and 2022 from the Federal Reserve. I'm going to wager that the terms of those interest rates had certain hiring quotas. Now that interest rates have increased, I'm sure that the Fed now has lay off quotas.

In very large companies, to keep it confidential and SILENT large layoffs are usually known only to about 10 people. The CEO, a board member, 3 lawyers, 1 finance, and usually 4 HR executives. It's really not about who...it's about percentages and what the new budget numbers have to look like. Then it's off to filter by say salaries and reduce count of number of employees impacted.
