Don't mistake that for being a good CEO. He gives deep-felt apologies every time he does layoffs... which he does frequently. Often because he just doesn't like what people are doing. He also frequently communicates with the public in a more heart-felt manner than he does his own employees. He's great at putting out a great face.

Also, to be clear. I was not one of the ones laid off. But I did see my entire team besides my manager vanish one day and then be told I'm expected to do the team's work for the next 6 months.
