This is such a disappointment! Yuga Labs just laid off its employees, and now they’re talking about reorganization? Sounds like a lack of direction and poor management to me.
Yuga Labs should be ashamed of themselves for letting go of employees due to their own incompetence. This shows a complete lack of accountability.
CEO Greg Solano’s excuses for the layoffs are just weak. It’s clear that they didn’t have a proper plan in the first place.
So Yuga Labs decided to cut jobs because they couldn’t handle their own planning? That’s just ridiculous. Poor decision-making at its finest.
Wow, Yuga Labs going through a restructuring, but it’s great to hear that they have a plan for reorganization!
Layoffs at Yuga Labs? This is just another example of how companies prioritize profit over their employees. Shameful.
Layoffs? Seriously? Yuga Labs should have thought about the consequences before making impulsive decisions. People’s lives are being affected here.
Yuga Labs, you had one job – to run a successful NFT company. And now you’re laying off people because you couldn’t handle it? Unbelievable.
