Being a hard-nosed business person is one thing. It's a completely different thing to buy a massive tech company then proceed to layoff people for no tangible reason - people who sacrificed much of their lives and worked hard as hell to become engineers / scientists / etc good enough to be hired into big tech. All while antagonizing them and insulting them like a fucking teenager.
The guy is an incompetent, cruel asshole. Now the entire world knows as it's on grand display.
Maybe it's because I was raised Catholic (I.E. forcefully taught the teachings of Christ), or maybe it's just because I am a good person with morals and compassion for others. But I cannot see how anyone defends such an openly cruel person.
Edit: snip.
I mean who could have imagined? A complete idiot who treats all others like worthless pawns is running a company into the ground when he isn't being checked by caring, intelligent people. Who would have thought?
