it's quite ironic that the staff is so bothered by "told you so"s as if these reactions are just dropping out of nowhere when anyone who was against the merger was actively ridiculed and looked down on by some users and staff alike and at times threadbanned for voicing this very concern in the other thread.
there are certain attitudes on this forum that deserve to be called out and the cheerleading of this acquisitions is one of them

Forgot to mention in my previous post: it's very heartwarming to see the same corporate dick riders saying that these are necessary. No they are not, as most mega corporation layoffs. The ones that stay pick up the slack, get no raises due to "the economy", meanwhile MS gets to record multiple dozens of billions in profits every year.

Edit: funny how all companies found "fat" to trim now, especially those that lay people off and then offer them their position back a couple months later with a pay cut.

Smfh you can't even talk about the negatives of layoffs. Those ppl are the cesspool of irrational, hypocritical, ironic thinking.

Union members appear to have been untouched. The union basically doing a "told you" promo on those that kept out.
