To add to this, I recommend reading how Jack, or the person Jack told to write this email presented the layoff:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=10379948" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=10379948</a><p>In the most charitable light, I believe Jack doesn&#x27;t want to be seen as a villain. In a less charitable light.... I think most people can read between the lines.<p>Those can&#x27;t or do not wish to see any ominous signs here, tend to be still working at the company. Willful ignorance of this kind is completely understandable, in my mind, since few wish to bite the hand that feeds them.
