@lumiworx@mastodon.social also "Reduced operational footprint" makes it sound like "We'll fire people in less privileged countries that have fewer tech workers and double down on the ones where there are many people already"?
> We’re reducing our country footprint because operating in nearly 60 countries does not allow us to give every team member a great experience. We anticipate reducing the number of countries by 30% focused on geos where we have only a handful of people or fewer.

@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.
