This is what shocks me. Could turn out to be true. Well, the message is clear: No more whistleblowers will chose this place, because this .... community ... not only looks like a bunch of immature half-wits on the surface, ir really IS.
OK, first, what do you expect us to do? This isn't actionable intelligence - we can't buy up or sell off stuff ahead of the change, and we can't avert it by protesting on the bridge and hoping Producer Glib deigns to notice us.
Creating widespread panic will just anger Turdbin even more, and maybe start a witch hunt for the leak.
So even if this were from a verified source, what response would be better?
Which brings us to the second point, we have no idea who this is, it could as easily be a prank as a leak. Layoffs the day after the shutdown of Mournlands?
I'm glad the OP chose The Vault, it make for fun drama if it's a prank and it was cool to hear it first if it's true, but in neither case is it an insult to the OP or a poor reflection on the community to give it the generally flippant response it's gotten.
Come Friday, if it proves true I'll offer my condolences to the staff involved (because I'm sure the people who actually deserve to get laid off are too smarmy to be included), but I don't see how getting all worked up about it now would be of any use.
