not just US problem though
That’s $1,000 per employee laid off. They might have been making $60,000 a year each.
$30 million is way too much to pay anyone (especially shareholders) but firing the CFO is not a silver bullet.
Naaaw, that’s cuteee
People who make that heart shape with their hands need to be thrown into a hole full of diarrhea.
Call me medieval, but I don’t understand these people… If I somehow had a ploy to make that kind of money in one shot I’d make like a bandit and vanish… Then retire. That kind of money is never work again money. I could retire at 30 and die in my 80s a rich man.
See and that is why I almost pitty such people. They never learned how to be a normal person. How to be satisfied with what you have. But I did say almost. Cause they make the world a shithole for the rest of us.
Have you ever heard of the word greed.
Yes I have, and I am not that. I would like a few tens of millions of dollars so I can sooth my anxiety that I will never want for anything again. But that is all.
Thats why people do, its like I just need this much, a little bit more, now I want to make sure my next generation or my kids won’t have to worry about money, more, more, more. Thats how irl works.
Not really. Most lottery winners go bankrupt, and it is because they spend or give away their stuff.
If you spend carelessly then this will happen.
I wouldn’t spend carelessly. If I had that much money I had planned for years what I would do to it.
Do you realize how much a private jet costs?
The souls of four donkeys and a rotten egg?

And remember,
Do not fall into the trap of anthropomorphising Larry Ellison. You need to think of Larry Ellison the way you think of a lawnmower. You don’t anthropomorphize your lawnmower, the lawnmower just mows the lawn, you stick your hand in there and it’ll chop it off, the end. You don’t think ‘oh, the lawnmower hates me’ – lawnmower doesn’t give a shit about you, lawnmower can’t hate you. Don’t anthropomorphize the lawnmower. Don’t fall into that trap about Oracle. — Brian Cantrill (https://youtu.be/-zRN7XLCRhc?t=33m1s)
And
I actually think that it does a dis-service to not go to Nazi allegory because if I don’t use Nazi allegory when referring to Oracle there’s some critical understanding that I have left on the table […] in fact as I have said before I emphatically believe that if you have to explain the Nazis to someone who had never heard of World War 2 but was an Oracle customer there’s a very good chance that you would explain the Nazis in Oracle allegory. — also Brian Cantrill (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79fvDDPaIoY&t=24m)
That’s the worst heart gesture I’ve ever seen
That’s a heart? I thought she was doing a Mr. Burns
Girl Boss!!! slay queen!
One of many.
