The landscaper analogy is to explain how any firm can hire or fire at the same time (which many can't seem to grasp).
A landscaper that doesn't have repeat clients is what you are comparing to, which is the signal for unskilled labor.
(If we are just using the landscape ecosystem).
For the Knowledge Worker ecosystem, the seasonality is not summer/winter but say Recession/Growth or Technology Waves. There is definitely at least 3 years gap between Recession/Growth of Technology Waves. So, someone getting fired every 8 months is a red flag just like the Landscaper not getting re-hired the next season.
All these are valid signals but most HNers are blinded by anti-corporation propaganda and can't see the objective reality
