      What do you think laying off your workforce does? These are the people who produce the things that make money

      For a clear cut example, Microsoft and gaming. They lay off entire studios the moment they release a hit

      It costs like 18 months+ of salary to replace a role like that, and you’ll have to pay them more. It’ll make you a bit more money next quarter… But in 2-5 years when there’s no new game?

        Microsoft is doing pretty well so I wouldn’t call it “dismantling”, it seems to be working for them.

        Pretty sure Intel is still alive and their problems are systematic from many years ago when AMD released Bulldozer and Intel decided it can stop innovating. So don’t think they fit here.
