Small Data Team Energy

So uh... Xsolla, a payment services company that works with game developers, sent this letter out to 150 of its employees to fire them... 150 people were fired from the company’s office in Perm, Russia. Agapitov informed his employees that they were being let go via the letter saying that they have been terminated based on big data analysis of their activity. Here’s the full translation of the email: You received this email because my big data team analyzed your activities in Jira, Confluence, Gmail, chats, documents, dashboards and tagged you as unengaged and unproductive employees. In other words, you were not always present at the workplace when you worked remotely. Many of you might be shocked, but I truly believe that Xsolla is not for you. Nadia and her care team partnered with seven leading HR agencies, as well as help you find a good place, where you will earn more and work even less. Sasha will help you get a recommendation, including the one from myself. And Natalia will read you your rights. This has small data team energy.

Скриншот твита о компании Xsolla, которая уволила 150 сотрудников, сославшись на анализ их активности в рабочих сервисах. Ответ шутит, что такой массовый и безличный подход выглядит как «энергия маленькой команды данных», то есть чрезмерно самоуверенная корпоративная аналитика и хаос.
