Silly that it has to use hedge language like not ready "yet" and "premature". These executives fucked up and deserve to be roasted. They didn't make an innocent mistake. They were grossly incompetent and should be losing their jobs for not doing even the most basic due diligence before making decisions that were not only bad for the affected employees but for their customers and the company itself.

“We assumed the technology was further along than it actually was,” one executive said privately

They fired 4000 people on an assumption. They should never hold a position of responsibility again.

Also on an assumption made where an informed decision could be made instread. State of technology is an objective thing
