War: AI and efficient management
  • Xsolla is very profitable sweat shop company making stuff for payments processing for gaming apps.

    They fired 147 out of 500 people (making all the remaining work for this guys) based on some black box AI solution that analyzed all their activity, like number of chat messages and number of code lines submitted, number of emails they got. Yes, such primitive. Owner explained the mass layoffs by the fact that the company stopped showing 40% growth, and profits rose only around 50% (but wages did not change at all in 2020).

    In parallel they cut 10% of the wage fund as all the rest are also clearly not efficient and owner still have only two yachts, one in EU and one in US, but last info is not certain.
