(This message was added in version 6.7.0.) in /home4/scienrds/scienceandnerds/wp-includes/functions.php on line 6114Source:https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2023\/05\/04\/how-shopify-bungled-its-latest-layoffs-and-made-employees-feel-like-npcs\/<\/a><\/br> Shopify laid off 20% of its global workforce today<\/a> \u2013 its second sizeable employee culling after a reduction of 10% announced last July. This latest downsizing also includes the wholesale divestment of an entire line of business: Shopify\u2019s in-house logistics arm, which sought to own more of the warehousing and fulfillment chain for its merchants.<\/p>\n Shopify CEO Tobi L\u00fctke\u2019s internal message to the entire company was shared as an external-facing blog post<\/a> on the corporate newsroom (which \u2013 disclosure \u2013 I helped establish when I worked for the company way back in 2018\/19). The letter is a particularly egregious example of layoff communications done poorly, but it stands as an accurate representation of L\u00fctke\u2019s basic inability to empathize with the situation of a number of employees under his company\u2019s charge.<\/p>\n L\u00fctke frames the 20% reduction as an effort to \u201cpay unshared attention to [Shopify\u2019s] mission,\u201d which itself already starts things off on strange footing, since it presents those impacted as effectively working on distractions and unworthy of the time and focus they were \u2018sharing\u2019 with the company\u2019s core focus. The letter expands on this \u2013 to even more insensitive effect \u2013 by quickly drawing an analogy between Shopify and video game mechanics, distinguishing between the company\u2019s \u201cmain\u201d and \u201cside quests.\u201d<\/p>\n In gaming, there\u2019s often a critical path \u2013 the main storyline \u2013 which focuses on one primary goal. Open-world gaming in particular also include a wide range of side quests, which may be strongly, loosely or not at all related to the core story and goal.<\/p>\n
