I was laid off with about 25% of this company's workforce (a little over 20 people). They made comments in the meeting like they wouldn't be able to make it another 3 months without doing it. They've done everything they could to avoid laying off people until now.
Today I got an email from LinkedIn, [company posted an update!”
The thing that I really want to point out is that when they laid everyone off, they kept the “culture coach” and the full time lawyer but they laid off the IT people… when it's an IT company.
I'm glad to not be working there anymore but someone should take control of that company away from the CEO. I had a safety net I could fall back on. A lot of the people laid off didn't.
