How much do you think 14% of their workforce costs to keep employed for another year vs 3.5 months + bonuses + pto + stock + 6 months healthcare?

Do you think their doing it for shits and giggles? Or do you think that they've actually done the math?

Tone aside, asking if op thinks Stripe have done the maths is an interesting question.

How did Stripe end up with expenses they need to reduce if they did the maths? Yes, their world changed, but at some point they made choices that were incorrect.
