"As you all know, we have worked hard over the last year to run our business as sustainably as possible. Unfortunately, we still have work to do to rightsize our company and I regret having to share that we are taking the painful step to reduce our headcount by just over 500 people across Twitch," Clancy wrote.
Cripes I hate corporate newspeak. "Rightsize" isn't a word, and I hope I never encounter it again.
"As 'sustainably' as possible." I love that one, because it makes it sound like they're being kind to nature.
Nope, just profit.
Even in financial terms "sustainably" always pisses me off. None of these companies are trying to sustain, they demand constant growth to be happy. Never ending growth is never sustainable.
Never-ending growth may not be sustainable, but it is growable.
