    It’s interesting that when a company fires a bunch of employees just to increase quarterly profit, the employees no longer feel any duty to keep the company secrets. Which hurts company profits even more.

    Good.

      I think valve does same too but different approach, they just don’t hire anyone for keeping paychecks for themselves

        No, it’s one of those things everyone assumes or guesses. When it’s confirmed by someone by name that has insider knowledge, the theory carries a lot more weight. Enough to alter stock prices, if it’s damning enough. Or in this case further hurt public perception, which hurts revenue.
