Nothing seems to really happen anymore, except major dramas about tiny things. Is that me? I mean, objectively, I'm sure that there's as much happening now as ever before, if that can even be measured. And the pandemic doesn't count. Not being able to go out for a bit is not 'something happening'. In fact, the biggest thing that's happened in the

    Font - Megan Feeman - 2nd ↑ Founder/CEO at NoBaked Cookie Dough I... + Follow 1h. People who have never run a business should stop ranting about layoffs, placing blame where it doesn't belong. To turn a (terribly run) company profitable, hard things have to happen and hard decisions have to be made. Over hiring is popular amongst tech companies. It never ends well. Stop pretending like you know how to run a company when you've been an employee for your entire life.
