       | 
       | Burying this at the end of paragraph #4 seems odd. It's not like
       | given the timing and the vagueness of the title that the audience
       | can't deduce the topic. Still, what's wrong with a title that
       | just comes out and says "Layoffs"?
       | 
       | Also, the use of the term "astronauts" for "employee" seems sad.
       | The "workforce" is being laid off but "astronauts" are building
       | the company.
       | 
       | This kind of thing must be hard to communicate, but I'm not sure
       | that obfuscation makes it any easier.

       | 
       | Good policy.
       | 
       | (And btw the headline should be 'Gemini lays off 10% of
       | workforce')
