When Sheryl Sandberg announced she was leaving her No 2 role “to focus on philanthropy” it was the first sign there was trouble in paradise.

If you are trying to remove 15% of your company, PIP should be illegal. Cali labor board is going to rake them over the coals.

Right out of the Jack Welch/GE playbook, which was ‘fire the bottom 10% every year.’ It sucked then, and it sucks now, especially if you have a group of high performers.

I remember when Sun Microsystems CEO spent huge amount of effort to attack Intel and Microsoft.
Instead of addressing their process technology problems, they spent all their effort in propaganda.

At Intel, we laughed at their efforts as Pentium was very close to reality.

When we got all the bugs fixed (and it took awhile), we had a processor that was far better than Sun.
They died soon after it.

Its too bad as I really liked their software.
Their licensing $$$ was the last nail in their coffin.

Funny you say that because Facebook’s headquarters was a Sun Microsystems facility.

Once the Pentium became stable and Windows natively supported LANs, it was all over for Sun, and Scott McNealy knew it.

All them woke Twitter employees who thought they were going to be able to hold the company hostage if Musk takes over can’t be excited about this news. Rent ain’t cheap in the Bay area.

Is this an attempt to get around the WARN act?
