The one I ran into was standing in front of some βgameβ experience that was likeβ¦jumping on tiles or some shit.

I'm a businessperson. When you lay off a bunch of people it's not because you suddenly discovered smarter ways to work in your industry.
95% of the time, It's because you planned poorly.
5% of the time, events that could not have been planned for derail things.
If the workers have to suffer consequences for the organization to survive, fine. Take out the leadership who sent the company down the tubes with their orders in the first place.

Fuck this world man.

10 Some article remind me it exist;
20 I shrug and continue not to care about the Metaverse;
30 I forget about the existance of the Metaverse;
40 Some amount of time passes;
50 GOTO 10.
