I've been there since May. Absolutely loved the company and the product was good. The benefits and pay were out of this world and my manager was incredible.
Well, yesterday morning I wake up and try to log in to my laptop and my password isn't working. I go to my phone to post in the company IT Slack to let them know I was having issues and it was deleted from my app. Alright, this is weird but I'm sure it's just some tech issue.
NOPE. About 30 seconds after grabbing my phone I get an automated email saying I need to return my laptop. Then an email from my manager with a zoom link comes through.
And then they told me they're laying me off. No notice. No PIP. Nothing. It was a decision by the execs and when my manager essentially pleaded with them to wait until after the holidays they told him that it had to be done Monday.
I'm pissed no one gave me a warning. I'm pissed I'm only getting 2 weeks severance. And I'm pissed that I genuinely gave a shit about my job because I believed in the company only for them to sack me right before the holidays.
A, if you're reading this, go fuck yourself you heartless wench.
Edit: just found out I was laid off because 2 months ago we hired 4 new people (doubling the team) in the span of 3 weeks and execs have now changed their mind and decided to downsize again. Which is the biggest pile of horse shit I've ever heard because we ALL said that hiring more people like that wouldn't work and it would hurt the team but no one listened to us.
A, I now give a double fuck you.
