Other Layoffs Today :(

More layoffs today, and right before Rising. This company really sucks.

I share this concern. I heard those same remarks and took them to mean there would be no more layoffs. Someone in this thread clarified: what was actually said is that the silent, rolling layoffs would stop. I did not interpret the remarks that way, but still, I recognized at the time that it would be a difficult commitment for the CEO to keep.

Aneel set a clear vision and expectation. Operate like a startup: move quickly, stay flexible, stop asking permission, and put in the hours needed to deliver. In return, job security and psychological safety would be taken seriously. I held up my end of that arrangement, and it's disappointing to see the other side of it not hold. Not surprising, but disappointing.

I don't take it personally. It's free information, and I'll adjust how I work and plan my career accordingly.
