... that Walker Interactive Products was originally a consulting company that used venture capital funds to become a software products company? Source: see footnotes 5 and 13 in article
ALT1: ... that when the financially failing Walker Interactive Products could not find a buyer, it staged a large-scale layoff in order to stay alive? Source: see footnotes 1, 4, 5, and 16 in article
Long enough, new enough. Both hooks are sourced, short enough and interesting, ALT0 slightly moreso (many firms jettison staff when struggling, and I'm amazed that
this is all we have on "fire-and-rehire") and both could be hookier (e.g. "that the software company Walker Interactive Products was originally a consultancy firm" or "that Walker Interactive Products jettisoned five eighths of its staff to survive") but I'll leave that to the prep builder. I see no neutrality issues, copyright issues or maintenance templates. QPQ done. Good to go.--Launchballer 12:50, 3 December 2023 (UTC)
