Every business that starts will eventually come to an end We have seen this with Yahoo, Nokia, Byjus, Tata Docomo, Aircel, JetAir, Hike, Kodak, Forever21, Micromax Even Google, Microsoft, Snap, Meta, SpaceX can have similar fates one day Few companies vanish post successful acquisition like Vine, Jabong, Foodpanda, Freecharge Meanwhile once high valued companies like Paytm, Dunzo, Snapdeal, WeWork now struggle to survive To stay afloat, companies often take tough crucial steps like layoffs, downsize, markets exits, product discontinuation From X to Google to Byjus to 1%Club, everyone does it These actions are regular part of a company's journey I believe in appreciating the historic value the company once brought us But too often we laugh at their struggles or decline Do you think its fair to judge companies harshly for taking survival steps, especially when their conduct and practices were good?

Survival tactics are part of business right? Layoffs, downsizing, and other tough decisions shows resilience and doing what it takes, not weakness

No, it's not fair. Companies should be evaluated based on intentions and past conduct, especially when survival steps are necessary.

I think companies contribute value even if they don’t last forever, we should appreciate what they offered instead of dismissing their struggles

Why care? These companies don’t care about us, they care about profits. We shouldn’t have sympathy just because they used to be big. If they die, they die it’s just the market working.

But let’s be real. A lot of these companies failed because they didn’t adapt. Kodak ignored digital cameras, Nokia ignored smartphones. It’s not about business cycles; it’s about being complacent

Completely agree. It’s easy to judge companies for their fall, but we forget the value they once brought. Every business has its cycle. Doesn’t mean we should mock their decline.
