At the very least, we can agree that "Changes at YC" is burying the lede?

Only if you're not fluent in corporatease. Whenever I see an e-mail entitled "Changes in [some organization]", I assume that one or more of the following is true:

  1. The leader is leaving.
  2. People are getting laid off.
  3. They're exiting a line of business.
  4. They sold the company.

Haha, same here, whenever I see some random meeting called "[whatever] chat" being scheduled, like "Engineering chat" or "Quick eng all-hands", you know it's

1. Someone's leaving or is getting fired from the department 2. More people are getting fired

The point is that this, along with "*changes" is always bad news. :D
