This is the type of "dickery" that surpasses all measurements, the one that is, honest to god, trying to be nice.
In short, he's really, REALLY stupid.
by giving them 6 months of severrnce, extended health care?
That's supposed to be good? That's bare minimum.
You don't even get why he's being called stupid but let's address what you said first. Would you rather get a 6 months severance and a very little opportunities to get rehired is almost impossible or keep your current job? Unless you're stupid you'd rather keep your job. The 6 months severance with health care doesn't matter when you're being thrown overboard.
And he's being called stupid because he's throwing people overboard to keep his ship going and he's trying to pass it off as "they'll survive" like he's done nothing wrong. He'd genuinely would look smarter if he just shut the fuck up and take the layoff criticisms on the chin. But you know, much like Randy Pitchford, Sweeney loves to put his foot in his mouth.
i agree he shouldnt talk but keeping the job isnt an option. the reason every company is laying iff is because the economy is a disaster. ii sucks but a bunch of dumb fucks elected their king dumbfuck and the country is basically bankrupt. and for all the stupid things tim sweeny saus he has called out every company for bending the knee to trump.
he is letting people go not for fun but because theu cant afford them. his comment is stupid but if we were all being honest and not emotional reactionaries, you can see that this guy who is awkward on his best day , is trying to say that these people arent being let go for poor performance.
Why does a capitalist apologist pop up every time people point out their shitty behavior? In fact he didn't have to lay a bunch of people off, he could have cut costs in other ways, such as, oh idk, his own ridiculous pay package. These people only fucking care about themselves. They would sell you out for a cup of coffee. Why do you insist on running interference for them and whitewashing their greedy antisocial behavior?
It's his job to navigate the company through this shit economy and he failed at his job. But his failure is put on the 1000 people who got laid off while he gets to continue sitting in his little castle acting like there was nothing he could do. If you want to ride his dick go ahead, I've got no sympathy for a failure who didn't learn the first time around (because it's not even 3 years from the last layoffs) and suffers no consequences for his failure.
The fact that he is complying with the workers' contract has nothing to do with the fact that his comment, and by extension he himself, is stupid.
