it's a bit of a red flag when 160 employees see something as trivial as a trademark dispute to take the opportunity to go away with a severance package

    Realistically, any company of decent size will have workers who are tired of the job and would voluntarily leave if they got paid for it.

    There are other red flags in this case, but I don't think this is one of them.

    8% getting up and leaving is not an indicator of health

    esp when Matt was chasing some of them after desperate to get them to un-resign lol
