The hypocrisy of HN is mindblowing. I have seen thread after thread people vouching they won't hire candidates who jump multiple times to optimize their paycheck and benefits, but have no problem with mass layoffs in name of optimisation. You can't have two different scales for the two sides.

Are we reading the same thread? I see tons of comments here criticizing Stripe for this layoff.

Both are instances of trying to get the best deal, just as employees do when negotiating salary, so there isn’t anything hypocritical there.

The shaming of employees when they jump multiple times while simultaneously celebrating companies doing mass layoff is the textbook definition of hypocrisy.

What shaming? A candidate likely to job-hop is just less valuable.
