Can’t think of any due to executive level leadership. It was once a great company that was culture and people driven. That has been gutted with 2 major layoffs in the last 4 years.
With recent 12k layoffs, have to do more with less. Incredibly stretch goals that are unattainable which makes me think they are using it to justify further layoffs. Recent change in RTO policy = 5 days a week.
Are pay raises at start ups usually more than at a large company? How much was your most recent raise?

Told me today after not putting my promotion in to hire ups that "it's a privilege to get a raise each year". Didn't realize the shitty raise of covering inflation was a privilege and highest honor.

I'm thinking about asking my boss for a raise. How would you prepare to have that discussion? What should you bring to the table to prepare? Metrics? What justifications can you use? I've been exceeding my metrics and leading the team. Sometimes doubling and tripling my goals. Getting a lot of reco...Read more
The era of wide-spread start-ups burning endless amounts of cash with no profits is about to end. The era of bros springing up start-ups just to play the game with VCs of raising money for a company that really does nothing important and makes no money is about to end. This crash and recession is go...Read more
