Great coworkers, bad executive leadership
Great coworkers, bad executive leadership
The work and the coworkers are amazing. Fun and brilliant people to work with.
The layoffs led to the company losing excellent people for no good reason. The culture is in danger from bad leadership. Innovation is stunted because of layoffs to high-risk projects. The product strategy is notoriously bad, with confusing product naming and duplication.
Stop indiscriminately laying people off.
Put more care into product naming, branding, launches, and support.
Reward innovation instead of punishing it with layoffs.
