Pollen – Live events company made 160+ redundant this week

They received 150 million investment series C whilst owing artists, employees, vendors contractors and customers money. Making roughly 80 who work remotely in North America redundant but they can’t say anything or lose out on one month severance pay. Majority of redundancies are women and ethnic minorities no accountability from leadership team. Firing engineers who were at the end of their probation and blaming it on performance. Promoted An Engineering manager and made her redundant without warning not even a week later. I’m so angry at how this shambles of a company who haven’t refunded customers for events they’ve cancelled during the pandemic even with a 90 day money back guarantee can operate. They’re also trying to make 84 others redundant in the U.K. but can’t follow through immediately because of legal issues. Fuck this company and I hope the press exposed them.
