My friend just got laid off along with 400 other employees by dialing into a pre-recorded Zoom message. Her manager never even called to say goodbye. The virus may be out of your control, but how humanely you handle it is not.

I don’t understand this insult. You’re saying “The people who hurt the community are now being hurt”. So who’s the bad person here?

no, the owners of the scooter companies who dropped thousands of scooters on our sidewalks & bribed their way into staying by writing local governments checks have now treated people who needed jobs unethically also. i don’t blame people who needed jobs for working for them.

I imagine most of the employees fired were owners of the company.

And if they were part owners, then owners of the company (now laid off) were dropping off the scooters. Or the other way to see if is people have free will and choose where to work and which causes to contribute too. With way, seems crazy to blame a company, not the people.

Regardless, I LOVE bird. Great product. Love getting cars off the street. Just think your logic is silly. Fits into the narrative of blaming tech companies yet somehow defending the people who made the company.

Did I say I was in favor or not of how they were laid off?
