harwee Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 Didn't spotify just reported billions of profits last month? Tech companies is just so trashy and they're doing it right under their staff's nose. They fire people after their reach their bottom line and then redefine what is sufficient staff to make more for next year. They incrementally own the intellectual property built by the staff and then reduce that same staff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also pay artists disproportionally a smaller amount per stream than Apple Music does in the States. I am not buying they don't make much of profit BS either.

dumbsparce Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 As a consumer, I really couldn't care less. I just want to listen to music for the lowest price possible.

My implication is that Spotify is not the only company laying off staff. If you read my op again all I was saying is this is the norm for business. Restructuring and having a profitable business model for shareholders and investors too will always be a thing that companies are constantly reviewing. I never said it was a “good thing” for those affected but its reality unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I am a person with basic human empathy, while you are in here showing sociopathic tendencies on the internet thinking it makes you look edgy, but instead you just look like a loser. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
