> the idea is to find folks who have nothing whatsoever to show, and yet have titles like "staff software engineer".

Shouldn't that have been the idea *before* they laid off half the employees?

How fucking idiotic of a leader do you have to be to lay off half the company and *then* try and figure out who is producing literally nothing of value?

Remember how he became leader: he bought the company while waiving due diligence, only to later cry that he hadn't done due diligence after the deal was signed. "Move fast and break things" taken to its logical conclusion.

Is this similar to the "I throw half the resumes away to avoid hiring unlucky people" concept?
