&gt; Not laying off engineers is probably more about how hard it is to hire engineers today, and knowing that when they get past these problems, it&#x27;ll be easier to re-hire reps than re-hire engineers.<p>I don&#x27;t think labor hoarding is a good theory for why they&#x27;re keeping their product team. If they don&#x27;t have work for them now and are winding down they would be getting rid of them.<p>Rather, I think they believe they don&#x27;t have a product they can sell right now, but they believe they can change it to make it viable. You need engineers to change your product.
