“Cleaning up the mess” is quite a charitable take.

Jassy has thoroughly destroyed trust in senior leadership, first with layoffs, blunt hiring freezes, and a truly chaotic rollout of RTO, RTH, RTT, etc.

I’ve never seen morale so low.

There was a series of grotesque missteps before that which, in part, led to the layoffs. I think there's a few lawsuits that describe it. Forcing employees to either break federal/international laws or be fired is not a good look. Forcing employees to endure harassment, retaliation, and psychological abuse for a paycheck is not acceptable.

ZIRP was keeping moral high. That ride is over for now.
