Incredibly disappointing, but not surprising. Dropbox is no longer in its growth phase, and needs to settle into maintenance mode - enjoying a steady stream of revenue while continuously optimizing expenses, with a bit set aside for R&D to try and find the next big growth opportunity. Severance packages look really good, with the caveat that these figures really should be _the default_ in Corporate America at this point, like our EU peers.

I just wish the language in the announcement reflected this reality. Instead, it feels like a lot of desperation measures from current tech companies: overly optimistic to the point of naively dismissing or ignoring reality, and believing that if we just keep building then we’ll continue to grow forever.
