2yI do have to say as a factual clarification that benefits have not been cut. All that has been cut are certain office perks (like free lunch once a week), that we decided in consultation with the company as a whole. That was an incredible process as folks came up with all sorts of ideas on how we can manage costs during this tech industry downturn. The May layoffs were a heart breaking process as we reduced the number of team members and I am sorry you were part of that. It was important that we talk to each impacted person directly (vs. a mass communication as some have done), and be able to provided excellent packages so impacted team members have the time to find new opportunities. In that, we tried to do what was a very difficult thing, in the most human way possible .
