Yesterday I along with 369 other employees were “silently” laid off by a tech company. Every company meeting our CEO & CFO would tell us how safe our jobs were. “We have $3 billion in liquid assets” they would say. After over working us and underpaying us, they froze raises and promotions promising us they would lift the freeze after Q1. Well yesterday rather than keeping their promise, they invested $2 Billion Dollars in AI and laid off nearly everyone in the US market. How did they do it? Via a 10 minute Zoom call. Didn’t even get a chance to react. Oh and they wiped out laptops 5 minutes after the Zoom meeting while we were on Slack and Zoom trying to figure out what was happening. So much for our jobs being “safe”
