Except this time they'll have a hard time blaming the devs and other workers.

I mean they'll sneak around it, but maybe just maybe the blame will not be distributed? Lol who am I kidding.

The're apex predators, they don't blame anyway, just mass layoffs due to non-profitability ()

non-profitability(){  
       if CEO_makes_less_money_than_they_want();  
                return true;  
       return true anyway because fuck the proliariat  
}

Yeah, I'm glad you woke up there. They will always find a way to blame the developers.

they will just lay off more people to stave off the debt, and then to hold the industry to gether outsource, and hire only some senior devs while ignoring entry or juniour level people.
