why do you think that explaining something is ridiculous? i have been to meeting...

It’s ridiculous because this is not genuine interest in someone’s work but a way to sieve out at scale.

(I don’t have a horse in this race. I don’t work there. So not sure why you think I’m taking this personally)

> not genuine interest in someone's work

That's your threshold for asking employees to summarize what they've been doing recently?

Management must have some profound interest in the feature being delivered and how it was implemented?

Question: have you ever managed people? And if so, how many?

Intention and context matters. The goal here is clearly to significantly downsize the operations with the least amount of severance to be paid.

I won’t go into your ad hominem.

Your anger with what's going on is coming through clearly. It sounds like you don't approve of any of the steps being taken because it's a downsizing.

While you're entitled to your opinion, it doesn't seem particularly relevant in discussions about whether or not this process is effective.
