As frob said, given the size of the company and the statistic they gave that 20% of the company was laid off. The company laid off at least 10 people, and as she said in the article, they were ALL minorities. This feels statistically unlikely to be random chance.
The fact that the 20% of the company laid off were all minority groups is absolutely insane. LinkedIn says they have at minimum 50 employees, meaning at least 10 people were laid off.
Here is their LinkedIn post (linked on their website),

" It is estimated that one in five transgender people will experience homelessness. Unfortunately, it's my turn. After six months of searching, I was not able to find a new role in time, and I have lost my home."
I believe the section of the comment you are referencing was on people who weren't in a union. So they can't have a union do it's job and negotiate a higher base salary because they aren't in a union.
They will be paying just 9% of the market cap from a week ago.
EDIT: This is likely wrong, it's probably more like 20+%, I was using the $.27 a stock from an earlier price of about 1 billion. It appears that the actual price is more than 2 billion.
I see what you are going with here for it not being able to come up with original things. But I think that falls apart when you realize almost nothing humans do is original, everything is just building on other things.
