I don't understand the significance of the San Mateo city in this context. I don't work in this industry. Were there higher level programmers included as well, instead of work akin to Amazon Mechanical Turk?

Do you have a source for the underperforming thing? That'd be next level incompetence for them to lay off 200 people for that reason all at once. (not saying it's impossible obviously!)

Same article you linked (tx), at the end. So, you know as much as I do. Before, I only knew the headline: closed office, flushed staff.

Agree, abusing labor law like that would be pretty scummy. Is it "incompetent" if it costs less? Depends on who is getting in trouble.
