I took maternity leave and had been back for 6 months and was laid off this time. Not sure if its a coincidence or not but I haven't seen anyone else post about being laid off yet but appearntly it was several.

@1e7 they have a long history of promises that never turn out. Carl says one thing and then does the shadiest thing right after.
@nq oh you mean MPP? Yeah that was pretty ridiculous that we were told "hit these numbers and you'll get bonuses" and then to turn around and say "Yeah, no bonus for you, we want to hold onto that money instead". Great sign to start looking for a lifeboat
It was also strange that MVP was delayed so much as well. They were already cash strapped.
@g6 holy sh-t
I think they planned this many cuts 6-8 months ago when they didn’t payout bonuses. They kept the bonus money to pay out severances for the next 2 months instead.
The next program coming out in November will be their last program. The digital side was sla-ghtered as they move to a full focus on supps.
warn act was updated today, it was 80 people. Huge number. Company was cutting cost everywhere right before on software. No one knows how anything is performing right now.
@d7 more than that... I was affected... Employee count was around 267 at the start of the day, around 190 at the end. Around 25% of the company, that's just FTEs, contractors were affected as well
Around 30 or 40 people laid off… developers, QA, design, product.
The only way this company ever “grows” is by cutting staff.
