minus-square Kit ( @Kit@lemmy.blahaj.zone ) linkfedilink7•10 months agoName a single merger in any industry that didn’t result in layoffs of at least 8% of the workforce.
minus-square Midnitte ( @Midnitte@beehaw.org ) linkfedilink7•10 months agoIt’s literally the point, merging companies are a left join, not a full outer join. The entire point is to save money by removing overlap - anyone who doesn’t expect that has no idea how businesses operate.
