Thread regarding Alteryx layoffs

@p1 On brand.

@fr I am Chinese. I did not find his comments offensive at all. If you are guilty of espionage as a citizen; life imprisonment or worse. No matter what your ethnicity.

The end of 2020 would have been the PERFECT time to cash in and bail out, stock-wise. It was all over by the beginning of summer 2021.

The wheels started coming off the bus when the former CEO started in Oct 2020. It was already coasting downhill by then, but once that buff00n was hired, things accelerated as the bad decisions started piling up.

@g7 We bought the hype that the stock $ would moon above $400. Retirement seemed so damn close.

2020/2021 would have been a really really good time to leave. Stock hit all time highs in 2020 and never recovered.

@ez in light of recent news the CROs comments were pretty accurate. He called for removing Chinese research students from the US because of national security threats…check the news.

Former CEO severely damaged the company by appointing a prejudiced CRO who posted racist remarks on Twitter against Chinese people. Their leadership was consistently poor. Recall the same CEO's offensive comment about our former CPO's hair? 'Here's black lady with her hair...'

MAGA tone-deaf company.

There was some folks that left when a short lived CRO made racist comments about Chinese students being sources of piracy in the US. While the comments were at best poor the company attempted to have a town hall to defend him. Which if you look at such activity across other public companies doing so it always ended poorly for the leadership team. I think the leadership team at the time made a wise choice not to participate in that town hall and the CRO resigned. I think there was a large fallout from that in terms of attrition, but I don’t think those attrition numbers were nearly as high as some of the layoffs that happened in the subsequent years to follow at alteryx.

Why do you care
