It is somewhat tiring but Gergely Orosz continuously makes the naive mistake of citing the company values as a critique of their behaviour. Taking a lesson from the "realist" perspective in international relations, companies are acting rationally. They are protecting their own interests. Both in espousing values they may not actually hold, and in dispatching with unwanted workers swiftly. In a high interest rate regime and with downturn in the market it is entirely rational for tech companies to shed workers with this sort of clinical brutality. That's why we've seen so many do it. On the other side of the balance under low interest rates and a booming market, we also see tech workers playing off companies against each other to improve their compensation or even slacking off work. This is also rational.

This kind of moralizing has become the bread and butter of his Twitter brand and it really is tiresome.
