The article says that they outperformed expectations, and that they’d decided that they didn’t need some layers of management. I don’t think that that’s intrinsically crazy; there are tech companies that have emphasized having a relatively flat structure, like Google.

About to? It’s been brutal for the past 3 years.

Yeah but mainly because of how insanely good it was for the 3 years before that. Covid pumped insane amounts of money into tech, which in turn lead to hiring WAY more people than were actually needed. This is just the correction of that, getting back to sustainable levels.
