You provide no evidence and fail to respond to the criticism at the end ... which is bad behavior, among a great deal of other bad behavior.

do you think maybe they could have kept it up if they didn't layoff 80% of their staff because of your modding? reddit is essentially google results at this point, don't act coy.

Friend, take a look at how you're phrasing things. If we boil down your statement to just the facts we see:

* Industry wide layoffs are happening.

* This company had a layoff.

* This company did not tell their workers they were being laid off in advance.

But that's not how you phrased it. You dismissed concerns about your biases by saying there are industry wide layoffs, and then in the exact next sentence castigated codesmith for having a layoff. Those statements don't align, that everyone is having layoffs and it's no big deal, and codesmith is having layoffs and it's a big deal.

Futher you add charged language about no notice, which is perfectly standard, and an assertion you can't possibly know, about codesmith having "the most dedicated staff". That's just not something you have context to state and its only purpose is to inflame and paint the worst possible picture.

In the words of Ron Swanson: Son, people can see you

the fact that you’re so entitled as to describe and assess their staff like you’re an insider who actually works there. That’s crazy. and creepy AF

They keep their staff list up to date on their website fairly frequently. I'm going off that.

So you don't accept any responsibility in their downfall?

If their entire marketing strategy is Reddit. They deserve to die. They are failed company. If they were really good they would not need to astroturf reddit. Their students would be their best promoters and they would have line out of the door.

Nothing you said here is true or informed, starting with the first sentence, which gets things totally backwards.
