I believe that “learnings” is also a word that could be applied in this context.

It seems to me “learnings” would actually be less ambiguous than “lessons”. A lesson brings to mind a thing being taught, not just learned.


Let’s take this learning offline and circle back during the next sync, team


I just threw up.

:p


The public might though be concerned that if they are being replaced, many in other positions at other companies will soon be replaced as well.


That’s not how the mind works. People cheered when Elon fired 80% of the Twitter staff. No one cares when people with high paying jobs suffer.


The people who cheered about the firing of 80% of the Twitter staff largely believed (rightly or wrongly) that they were being adversely affected by them. While Google may be seen with more wariness in tech circles, I don't think the average person believes that Google is actively harming them (again, rightly or wrongly).


These aren't the same types of events. In Twitter's case, it was a one-off act, caused by one-off circumstances. With Google, it'd be more of a precursor to a new trend that might soon take root and impact me or those I care about.


I think twitter is an outlier because people hated the employees already for various reasons.

For example they thought that twitter had a bloated workforce because of videos like this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=buF4hB5_rFs).

And a lot of people heavily disagreed with how they handled moderation. You can take things like the hunter Biden laptop suppression or in the funny category you had the getting banned for saying learn to code (https://reason.com/2019/03/11/learn-to-code-twitter-harassme...).

Take random company without controversies and you will find less vitriol about them getting fired.


Made me think of the Ship of Theseus https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ship_of_Theseus but according to the article only a few parts were replaced.


It's not a broom¹ you know. She won't be replacing the frame, pedals, and handlebar any time soon. In terms of both mass and volume that accounts for most of the bike already. for bicycles the identity seems to be tied to the frame mostly.
