Serious question: does Reddit employ actual project or product managers? Anybody with either of those titles (worth their salt) should understand basic change management principals and be able to handle announcements like this better than this.
I'm not a mod so I don't really care, just curious as to what your PM team is doing if not stuff like this.

This is my exact question. This honestly feels like someone woke up this morning, thought it would be fun and implemented the changes. This is a pretty big change to one of the biggest websites in the world. They had to have had a series of meetings and conference calls discussing how this would work. Right? Are they that detached from the community that no one thought that "hey, maybe we should let our hard working free employees know we're about to make a big change to the site."
How the fuck does this happen?

Because if a Project Manager actually solicits and implements ideas from users then the Project Manager is doing their job.
