A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

The only theory i've heard thats somewhat plausible is that this is a way to "soft fire" employees in bulk to save on costs and dodge legal responsibilities. But even then that idea only makes sense if you assume they are idiots that dont know or care about massive amounts of institutional forgetting - as lost workers are not 1:1 replacible - and that they are worth firing in an entirely random matter.
