The first I’ve heard of this platform is when it’s shutting down… might be why it did.

    This is what happens when an organization gets sufficiently large. And this is not necessarily a bad thing.

    “Surplus” staff is very important when a new project comes and the organization needs to scale up. Instead of suddenly hiring a lot of people with no understanding of organization culture, the staff can be mobilized to work on new things without affecting existing project and structure.

    There is a reason why governments around the world don’t suddenly fire their staff when it is apparent a lot of them are not working at max capacity. Redundancy is a kind of safety.
