Make sure you do all your hiring in winter so nobody unjustly culturally appropriates by getting a tan.

Before their stock crashed, their best skill appeared to be exchanging hyper-inflated Twilio stock for small companies that created open source software products that were available on AWS (Amazon Web Services).
Twilio's first product was a phone-over-AWS product - in 2008, I think.
It’s called grifting.
Soon to be buried in an avalanche of wronful termination lawsuits...
Yep, what I always thought is if they are so concerned about racism and reject all symbols of racism, then why do they fanatically support the democrap party? The party of slavery, the KKK, Jim Crow, lynchings, segregation, the confederacy? Their hypocrisy is off the charts.
If they aren’t racists now, laying them off because they’re honkies might tend to make them so.
Intel did something like this back in 2015.
They were shocked how many valuable people left rather than deal with what was coming.
It nearly sank the company.
The new CEO is doing a fair job recovering from this disaster but only time will tell.
Gaydar!
Make sure you do all your hiring in winter so nobody unjustly culturally appropriates by getting a tan.
So, a Ponzi scheme of sorts?
Ew. Gross.
You have to admit it adds context to the discussion...
My institution was doing layoffs from 2015-2020 and the word was passed no minorities will be laid off period no matter who unneeded or sorry at their job they may be. It caused lots of anger which wasn’t voiced openly but its still simmering. The one thing the institution did do right was lay off a lot of problem children when it had the chance it just was an affirmative action layoff which still doesn’t set well with those remaining.
Let’s be honest. When a ship is obviously sinking like this one is, you want to be one of the first ones off, while the company can still afford to be generous.
Hmmm. Maybe he is doing this purposely to payoff his white employees and leave the minorities SOL when the company crashes and burns.
They’ll layoff a handful of African-Americans just to muddy the issue in case this gets a class-act challenge in the courts. But, ‘YES’, that is what they are planning...
Mommy, what’s a Twilio?
Not really.
Their IPO stock got a lot of hype because several well known venture capitalists invested in the company before it went public.
Then, in 2020, because of Covid, many Internet focused stocks had huge price increases because they were viewed as stay-at-home stocks.
That meant Twilio could issue new stock and use it to buy other companies. When your stock is going up like a rocket, many business owners are eager to sell their companies.
However, when your stock crashes 80% in 18 months, that means all those former business owners now want to kill you!
“We will racistly lay off Whites, in other words.”
If he’s smart, he will use the opportunity to lay off the most left-wing whites on his staff, while leaving them with no ideologically-acceptable way to protest the layoffs.
“You want us to lay off more people of color to save your job? How RACIST of you!”
Now divide the stock price in that chart by CPI to adjust for inflation and you will see the truth -- it is worth less today than it was 5 years ago.
So, whites are getting fired because of racism.
