I heard it from the grapevine that Zoom is starting a "responsible spending" initiative involving cutting "non-essential expenditures" and there's already been a first wave of layoffs, and they're shutting down nearly all of their offshore offices

Zoom already requires that you have a subscription if you want to run meetings for longer than 40 minutes at a time, afaik

I didn't get fired like I thought I would because one of the old ladies crippled themselves so the person they hired for my job had to take over for the crippled old lady.

one of my wife's friends became president of a small medical devices firm after the previous one caught covid before there was a vaccine available and died and she was next in line

I was fired from a job many years ago and they cleaned out my desk and mailed it to me but I guess it was the wrong desk because it was a whole bunch of somebody else’s family photos and Knick knacks

i recall headspace being a big deal 7-8 years ago as an app that played meditation audio but they've somehow ballooned into a 1200 employee shop

OP, I'm sorry but we've taken a look at the budget for next year and we're just not going to be able to get new posts for threads like these. Cutbacks, you understand.

Just do one of those down tempo covers of an old pop song that are all the rage. Maybe something by semisonic, yeah, that would be tasteful
