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)
