Laid off as new management came in
Laid off as new management came in
I had the opportunity to work here after I graduated college and learned a lot working with cloud-based infrastructure.
New management came in and changed up a lot of things. Turnovers were often. They came in and changed the organization of my team. They started to assign work that I had never worked with before because I work on cloud. After a number of layoffs, I finally got kicked.
They were moving away from public cloud and were in the process of building out their private cloud. They invested so heavily in a specific public cloud provider, but it just seems like they want out now. Tons of applications were still hosted in the cloud environment around the time I got let go. It seemed like my role became irrelevant (along with a few others, old-heads who knew Geico infrastructure inside out).
Stop changing out CTOs every week and have some sort of plan to support employees on new technologies if you want it to be pushed so bad.
