I thought it interesting that the story broke on Reddit and was worthy to get the signal boosted by yc.
The employees being laid off are self-reporting as long-time employees that have worked their way up whatever ladder there was and have shown loyalty to the company.
Who will replace them? Chatter on the post say it may be PT workers with less experience in the company as well as in their niche.
That's unfortunate, but is a pattern we're seeing in many different companies as large and larger than REI. The outcome is not always great.
