A pretty big cause of all those layoffs was gettin rid of the DEI hires.

[@xronium]

horrible company lol

[@dan_loeb]

as a current "subscriber" to the hellofresh foodboxes i can say shit's... okay. its worth getting a few boxes during the initial discount phase, but you should probably j out around the 8th box once the 6% initial discount on boxes goes away. somewhat consistent issues with missing ingredients, and subpar veggies. some complain about portion sizes, I think the portions are fine, but the veggie quality can be extremely hit or miss. often coming moldy on day one out of the box. It's cheaper than uber eats but it is not cheaper than buying ingredients at the grocery store, especially so if you buy in bulk. but there have been a few absolutely stellar meals out of it, and a few genuinely good priced deals, but overall the experience is just barely worth considering if you use uber eats a few times a week, this is a cheaper alternative.

"I finally figured out what your problem is. You're alive." Full stop. - Lyle the Wrathful Serial Killer of E3's Haunted Burial Grounds

[@TemmiePlays]

why do ppl such as you feel like you've accomplished something by typing out a literal line from the video _we're all watching_ but to make it worse, you just typed the literal *first line* I think we're all going to see it dude you've added nothing

[@VictorSnakevenom1]

@@TemmiePlays The joke is that the quote is NOT actually what he said. I cut off the important following sentence to purposefully misinterpret what he said. Hence, the "full stop". Don't know why I am bothering to explain a joke to an absolute stranger, but there you go. Have fun.

[@Chickenbowser]

I like how the ending is just Lyle explaining the concept of "Maximizing Shareholder Value" in a way that an actual corporate executive would see it (and I say that with only a small amount of hyperbole).

[@loziclec.1295]

Worth also mentioning that even if the line went *up* between years, you could still be fired because the company anticipates that the line will go down next time.

[@Zionswasd]

or that it only moved up at a 44 degree angle instead of a 45 degree angle. or for no reason.

[@Nuthouse01]

That's rough buddy. I wish we lived in a different world.

[@sealswithglasses8969]

That last bit about the line moving down was just perfection. Lyle please don't ever stop making these man. Imma go look at the line and see if imma be fired in the next month.

[@exodus9001]

Lmfao i love the "oh you sweet summer child" laugh at the end of line go down bit

[@thebreadbringer]

13:33 Wouldn't know about that, Lyle. He's also responsible for infinite, which sucked balls for a Bioshock game and was a mediocre shooter full of plotholes at the best of times. The development of that was also a disaster because Levine just kept fucking around without putting it into an actual game, so they had to rush it into something semi-coherent last minute. Arguably, Bioshock 2, which was made without him, was a far better Bioshock game, which wasn't as appreciated at the time because it didn't have as much of a wow factor as seeing Rapture for the first time. I feel like Ken Levine is somewhat of a George Lucas-type director who has good ideas but needs people to reign him in to keep things coherent. After the first game was such a smash hit, I can imagine people felt intimidated to argue with him because he got to such an auteur status. I'm just hoping they've learned that lesson after Infinite, but I'm not sure they have.

Lyle nailed the problem with basically every industry in existence nowadays. Anytime you hear about today’s “Strong economy”, just know that they mean the stock market, and that “strong stock market” is only possible due to record levels of cost-cutting/layoffs/inflation/etc all for the sake of keeping the corporate profit line up.
