    Definitely feels reminiscent of the “Leopards Eating People’s Faces Party” joke. They’ve been increasingly antagonistic towards their own customers regarding the efficiency of search and numerous other pipelines. It shouldn’t come as a huge surprise that they are also being dicks to their own employees
