That sucks, but how the fuck does Atlassian have 16,000 workers to begin with? What do they all do? And their products look like... Guestures at all of them
They are the ones in charge of making sure bitbucket stops working every other Thursday.
You've got an extra digit there
No he doesn't. The redundant 1,600 are only 10% of the workforce. 16,000 total.
You know what? That makes a lot of sense.
