> it would be nice to see you go bankrupt
I would prefer that they fix their problems instead. They have 800 employees. I don't want those people to lose their jobs.

This thinking is how one rationalizes "bailing out" companies which have objectively failed in the market and should suffer the consequences.
Never has it been so easy to form a business and employ people. Gone are the days of a business being some kind of precious thing worth preserving because forming one is so involved.
Let the failures experience negative consequences, it's how we improve as a society.
You're thinking everything is some kind of an existential crisis.
You're the one thinking a company going bankrupt and 800 employees being out of work is some kind of existential crisis.
Companies fail, employees lose jobs get humbled and go find new work with lessons learned. It's how this is supposed to work.
What is the "current market" that you're talking about?
When a company goes bankrupt they give maybe 2 paychecks. How long until these people get new jobs? Maybe the company gives 4 paychecks? Still, how long is that going to last?
EDIT:
I'm seeing now that nobody on HN has ever been on the receiving end of your company going bankrupt. Carry on.
The one with all the layoffs and hiring freezes?
