Best financial run we’ve had in a long time as you say, so why layoff right before the holidays? I was not impacted but know many who were, several already on teams with low resources and support from upper management, those engineers left over are going to have an even heavier workload. I know people who are already working 12-15 hour days and now are expected to do more even though the company is supposedly doing well?
Who is benefiting from the company doing well? I’m certainly not, my colleagues are not, I haven’t met anyone who is. Perhaps that’s because those who are benefiting get to tell you remotely over webex from their new house paid for in stock options that you’re losing your job or your valuable team members are losing theirs. If you were involved in any of these types of conversations I hope you at least had the balls to tell them eye to eye.
A good post if you ask me. @W0T0Im5-ivh asked all the right questions.
