Oh I have no doubt they can afford it. My concern is do they *want* to afford it? Or, is it cheaper to cash out on their investment and reinvest their earnings in a new and cheaper venture? That keeps me up at night more than this place shrinking into oblivion. Them getting rid of us could be reasonably pain free, or it could mean we’re all unemployed. However, like I said in another thread, the current hiring environment takes away some of the anxiety of door #2. I really don’t want to start over again if I don’t have to, but if F9 were to suddenly cease to exist, all 1700 of us would probably have a pitty job offer from a legacy within a month.
