And the ever increasing CEO wages and hiring of AirBnB/eBay executive as CEO? Their previous CEOs salary alone could've covered everyone of those employees fired.

That part's not good. I was addressing the "They fired 60 staff and are adding AI to their flagship program to earn more money." Part.

I know, I was more looking at the bigger picture.

Adding AI could be fine, but with the direction the leadership is going I can’t see it as good in this case.

They didn't hire the AirBnB/eBay executive to be CEO, they've been there for a while.

Also, you understand that people can work for companies without supporting their agendas, right?
