Compensation was previously in line with the industry.

We have been losing key leaders for the last year, all the way down to lead developer positions. The company is very short-term focused. Pay increases are not keeping up with inflation. Layoffs have hurt morale, and some who are left are being asked to step down from lead positions.

I don't know about Allan Thygesen because he has just started, but Maggie Wilderotter was not honest with us.

She came in as a temp and made a lot of changes to reduce the scope of work, wholly consumed with the numbers for the quarterly earnings report. A few weeks before the layoffs, she had said there would be no layoffs. Then, one Wednesday morning, I, along with 700 others, woke up with no VPN access and a meeting scheduled with HR.

Dan Springer always had a long view, which was good for the company and morale. Using a short, three-month view does not seem like the way to lead a company to success, but only to get it ready to sell.

The other thing that occurred is that during the time when Dan left, the entire upper management layer left as well. At one subsequent town hall after Dan leaving, the leaders were gloating about their advances in diversity by having an all-female leadership team. Seems they need to look up the definition of diversity.
