It’s a business not a charity


[flagged]


The Netflix culture deck arguably says that in nicer words.

Why bother? Competent professionals already know it's true, even at companies that pretend otherwise.


Businesses earn money by providing goods & services better than alternatives. Charities earn money by begging. I'd rather work for a business.


You do know that a lot of these people were working just as hard as you are and were let go off for no fault of their own in the middle of a pandemic?


Yes, and the employees that remain should thank them for their hard work and help them find new jobs. If LinkedIn could easily employ an extra 1,000 people without risking the 10,000 that remain, they would've hired an extra 1,000 a year ago. Doesn't work that way.
