Antiwork

My company laid off 20% of our salaried staff on April’s Fools Day. It wasn’t a joke.

Pretty self explanatory. Pretty fucking shitty. They said they did it on April 1 to make sure people still had access to their benefits but a lot of these people only had a few hours notice before their access to internal systems were revoked. Someone who helped to start the company was let go. The CEO cried and said it would never happen again….but he also cried and said it would never happen again when they fired half of the marketing department 3 months ago. I thought I loved it here but I realized what I love is the people and the potential of the product. Not the company. I guess that’s start up culture for ya.
