Most Productive People Fired

Xsolla fired 150 based on analytics on remote Jira, Gmail, Confluence, docs and chat usage metrics. "When analyzing employee performance, time spent in Git \ IDE was not taken into account" OOPS! They accidentally fired their most productive people :)

A dark-mode social media post jokes that Xsolla fired 150 employees based on workplace-usage analytics, but accidentally excluded time spent coding in a Git IDE. The punchline is that the most productive developers may appear inactive in Jira, Gmail, Confluence, documents, and chat, so the metric-based layoffs punished the people doing the actual work.
