The biz hired a new CEO, Bryan Bogensberger, to take the company from about $3m in annual revenue to 10x-20x that, explained an early NPM employee who spoke with The Register on condition of anonymity.
I think this key point is worth reiterating:<p>> <i>It's making me sad how some are missing the point of #npmlayoffs. It’s not about losing our jobs: it happens/happened/will happen again. It’s the total lack of respect, empathy and professionalism of the process. It shouldn't be normal because "it's often how it is w/ startup"!</i><p>Please, if you run a business, don't treat your employees like this.
