I feel two ways about this one:

- it takes GUTS to make a move like this, especially for a business at 100M+ in ARR. So I respect their entire leadership team for working through this project and I hope it gives them an opportunity to hire back some of those who were affected.

- I wonder how far they thought through this pivot. I’ve worked with companies before that jump after the next shiny thing, and sometimes both miss it and also lose grip on what supported their initial growth phase.

They hope not to lose the original business, but if it was growing at single digits, I think it’s understandable to throw resources into a chance at growing faster again. Otherwise, what’s the outcome?

I think that AI discrimination exists; it is an artificial person and therefore can discriminate: I have had handshake intentionally not load pages for job listings; this is a repeated measure, for jobs that were right for me and just posted@!
