Not The Onion

Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

I guess this could just as easily be posted in an anti-work community

That's probably the idea.

Get rid of a load of staff, cut costs, boost profits in the extreme short term.

The problem with doing it this way is that the first people out are the best engineers that can quickly and easily get another job.

Ah but of course, short term gains are clearly better when management can golden parachute away before the consequences arrive...

Ah, but they're also the best paid.

Double savings.
