I am having a hard time understanding some of the layoffs. Is it just targeting highly compensated people, and replacing them with cheaper, less qualified labor? Not quite sure how G plans to pull this one off.

What am I aiming higher for? Maybe a 2% merit increase if I’m lucky? I’m so incredibly sick and tired of being told I need to do more while being offered less and less. The whole MC is garbage and needs to go.

I'm in tech. Involuntarily moved to a different team with an entirely different stack for the year. Umm I don't know how to code in their language. I'm expected to just start contributing right away. Like... What? So I have busted my a-s for years... — read more 

Ok now that round 1 of layoffs have taken place, what does anyone know about round 2? I’m sure we all are smart enough to know there’s multiple rounds and a list.

Targeting the level 15 was long overdue. Most of them were promoted due to favoritism and not talented and do not contribute anything significant over a level 13. Many of the grade 15 I knew were given LoP out of favoritism, failed many... — read more

Now that we know about layoffs, are there RTO changes?

The lack of any mention of relaxing RTO minimums while also sending out daily safety alerts (sometimes more than 1 a day) to those of us working in downtown Minneapolis is appalling.

Getting multiple reports of layoffs Tuesday morning and still ongoing at time of posting

The average age of employees grades 14-17 seems to have dropped by over 10 years since 2022 at least in Sekou’s org. Clearly driven by layoffs. We’ve seen what looks like blatant examples of age discrimination. Pushing an over 50 to a unique role... — read more
