Proofpoint just screwed their employees by selling the company to Thoma Bravo. Thought they cared.

Pros: It was an amazing company. Great people!
I thought upper management cared.
Cons: Upper management doesn’t care and sold the company to a heartless investment company who will layoff 10% of our employees
Like they have done with every company they bought.
