The Ides of March portend the end of one arisen world & the thrashing necessity of finding a new world to take it's place. (It famously did not go well for the assassin's & their desires.)

It would truly be a new world if Meta cut a bunch of management-class people, and the rest of the world actually followed suit. It seems unimaginable.

I feel like this is the one step that has been unimaginable anywhere in the world. There definitely have been whole teams let go, and a lot of other non-industrial/support departments seeing cuts, but just saying, the managerial class isn't really that valuable, we want to keep our good workers though: it'd be a wildly different world.

Weirdly I find myself far less eager for such a wide shift than I would have been, even a couple years ago.
