“sharpen our focus and improve the way we work together to bring more agility to our organization.”

Ahh yes, watching co-workers get laid off does wonders for improving the way you work together with the people still there.

Not exactly a stellar market to be looking in. Chances are that you'll be trading down, especially if you're in some level of big tech, like Discord arguably is.

This was about profits. It's always about profits.
