Hello from your former colleague. I hope this message finds you well !

I'm aware that your organization is currently facing significant challenges, and I wanted to reach out to offer some words of encouragement.

I understand that there may be a great deal of frustration within your organization right now. It's not uncommon for managers to engage in finger-pointing, both among themselves and towards their subordinates. It's crucial to recognize that many of the challenges you're facing may stem from process gaps and insufficient support structures rather than individual capabilities.

I'd like to encourage you to take a measured approach during this time. Focus on fostering connections with your colleagues and providing support to one another as you navigate through this crisis. Remember that you're all in this together, and your collective strength as a team can help you overcome these challenges.

If you ever need someone to talk to or discuss strategies for coping with the current situation, please don't hesitate to reach out. Post your comments here.

Stay positive, and remember that you have the resilience and capability to overcome these challenges as a united team.

Comment! It's anonymous!

Are you seriously comparing Illumina to WeWork ? Illumina has tech, patents, supply chain and 80+% market share.

Grail mess is purely self inflicted due to poor management decisions. Think about it ... pi----g away $8B + 60% market cap. Rank and file get penalized for missing deadlines. Upper management get rewarded no matter what. Until upper management is cleaned up and Grail jettisoned the downward trend in market sentiment as well as employee sentiment is going to continue.

Please stop trying to talk to employees like taking to children. Everybody knows the emperor has no clothes.

@4fss+1pl7KQvd, Consultants don't receive RSUs, bonuses, or ESPP, so this reward is significant. Your base salary may be the same as a consultant's, but you have better long-term prospects here.

Things can go wrong in business, as seen with WeWork's recent downfall.

Take some time off, support your colleagues, and let's invest in our growth here.

@4fss+1pl7KQvd - 😂

@4vai+1pl7KQvd I think you indented to write "Significant part of MY compensation is rsus+bonus+espp". You work hard so that I can reap the benefits.

Rank and file do NOT have "significant" part of compensation in the form of rsus+bonus+espp.

Significant part of your compensation could be rsus+bomus+espp.
It's normal to feel worried and frustrated when these have gone down Specially after layoffs.

However, this is the right time to work for Illumina and support. Take some time off to re-energies yourself. Illumina supports unlimited vacation to its fulltime employees. Don't stress out and worry.

There is a +ve news today -
Illumina Inc. stock rises Thursday, outperforms market.

So many talented colleagues buried alive by HR and malicious management. No trust any more.

Subtext .... Management screwed up and left you holding the bag. Don't get upset because some managers may actually tell you the truth and point fingers at upper management.

Please keep doing your work while management rewards itself for trying to fix the problem they created in the first place.

This is clearly a post from HR. If you are a competent employee RUN .... and do it fast. Grail is going to sink the ship.
