Didn't Stripe just announce their own set of layoffs because they over-hired? That doesn't seem that stable.
You want actual stability, join a fortune 500 company.
Being sharp as in the positive performance terms requires sharp leadership and decision making. It means leadership that actually knows what is going on and that requires trust. That is not the same as rage layoff after you impulse bought company you dont want while trolling on social medias.
Then when you go and work at company like stripe, its easy.
People are most productive over the long term when they feel encouraged, supported, self-motivated etc.
Positive emotions not negative ones like fear, coercion, hostility etc.
Because SpaceX and Tesla totally crashed and burned and are doing so much worse than Boeing and Volkswagen?
and the established automakers with billion dollar war chests didn't have access to the same subsidies if they had innovated and made electric cars that didn't suck? The established military industrial complex companies like Boeing and Lockheed that have failed in their space endeavors aren't subsidized?
Nothing about this acquisition as been impressive or promising. I see no sign of that changing. A mass disrespectful layoff like this is going to backfire, hugely.
Legacy car brands had electric cars (Toyota, BMW definitely). Boeing could have created landing rockets. Market wanted those products from anyone.
Why didn't they? Because they're dinosaurs, asleep at the wheel. Bad corporate culture.
That's a great way to get a bunch of cowboys in their 20s who think they are hot shit after five years in the industry while kicking out the people with deep experience because they actually like spending time with their families. Now you've got hyper-trendy software design everywhere with nothing supporting it.
