How much of that 750 are actual engineers vs reception, HR, finance etc. How many are the high skilled highly paid people who feel that they are very transferable in the jobs market and how many are junior assistant level people who wake up in fear of not being able to pay the rent. At that level of attrition there really could be no-one left who can keep the lights on.
Ramsaye-
I’m left worrying about this.
All the tech brothers marching out, probably straight into new roles and with decent earnings behind them makes me go all Citizen Smith, but there will be plenty of other employees who aren’t confident finding new work and who are left behind in a mess forced to work for a tyrant.
Hefty
Aah - of course. I guess while you're changing the direction of that kind of stuff the last thing you want is any actual problems with the widgets - you just want that to keep running without attention for a while. Whoops!
The numbers are ridiculous. Aware that they're probably reported with some degree of inaccuracy, but there were 7,500. He fired about half so 3,750 left. Then (again from what I've read) 80% of those have chosen not to be hardcore, so there's 750 left.
I can't believe it'll be able to keep running with 10% of the engineers it had a few weeks ago.
