    I didn’t downvote, but I briefly thought about it because their first statement is incorrect. Not factually, but the fact that many tech companies are downsizing isn’t something that you could reasonably argue in court as for why these specific positions were eliminated.

    “But your honor, all of the other cool companies are doing it!” isn’t something that would stand up to much scrutiny.

    The bit you quoted was what made me pause, because I agree with you.
