@badrihippo@fosstodon.org @jacqueline@chaos.social Unraveling the corporate speak, it might be worse than just letting people go for some 'efficiency'. 'Reduced footprints' like they describe happen by shrinking what's costing them in more than just money, and in whichever locations they already perceive to be ineffective or have a known impediment to saying yes to this new strategy. They expected pushback as they set this up and want to lop off the trouble spots and gain loyalty from fear of it happening to others.
