A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

The (non-founder) C-suite seems to think that people hate them for laying off other staff. People hate them because the C-suite doesn't have to face the consequences of their incompetence. It's the regular staff that does. CEOs instead get golden parachutes for running companies into the ground.

Yeah. I worked for a SaaS company that had two rounds of layoffs because they hired C-suite executives who were better at talking than building software or running product teams.

One was let go in the layoffs -- but given a book of clients to start a competing business. The other is still there holding pointless meetings that keep people from getting work done.
