Pros

None - All benefits have been cut at this point, people that weren't laid off are leaving en masse

Cons

I was told in my 6 minute HR meeting that due to a restructuring, my role was eliminated. That was a lie. I was full-time, on a project that wasn't scheduled to shrink for a few months (there was a budget with the client for all team members). After I was let go, someone that was NOT allocated or familiar with the project took over my role from a different office. I also saw job postings for my role on LinkedIn days after the mass layoff- but for Brazil applicants only. It's hard enough to get laid off, but to be lied to in such a way is disrespectful, dehumanizing, and depressing.

I 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 . - TD

I think you said it perfectly -- no one was happy with the May layoffs and it is my goal every day to make sure we have the clients and projects to make sure we never are in that position again... - TD
