There are a few lovely humans who care about their work and the people around them. However, they are truly few and far between.

There are not many good engineers, so it's fairly easy to do minimal work and still be a top performer.

Leadership has made awful decisions since going public, for which employees pay the price. Eleven percent were laid off yesterday, which is the second round of layoffs in less than a year. The people chosen to leave were some of the best talent at the company, so the decision seems completely short-sighted and foolish.

The CEO displayed more empathy for the business than for the employees at the subsequent town hall, while the CTO reigns chaos over the engineering org.

There are a number of bad engineers (unable to debug, solve complex problems, or even test their own changes) amongst the product teams that unfortunately keep the overall code quality low. Engineers who care about quality work will be frustrated by the entitled mediocrity surrounding them.

The stock is worthless, which provides no real financial incentive to care about the company's success. Vimeo has done nothing but flounder wildly into deeper and deeper failure since being spun off by IAC.

Stop promoting incompetent employees and take DE&I seriously.
