On: Dropbox announces 20% global workforce reduction

[mrguyorama]

At the very very least, they should be explaining how Dropbox is suddenly a 20% smaller company, because either that means the market has contracted by 20%, or Dropbox has shit the bed as a competitive entity in said market.

Both options should directly imply that the CEO should earn less. Either you're running a smaller, simpler company, or you sucked at your job.

Eat the loss.

They aren't 20% smaller, they stopped growing. Some of those positions existed to help them continue with growth, which now isn't happening.

They reached market saturation, which isn't the same thing as failing.
