Coursera handled its layoff in Nov 2022 very badly. They refused to publish the exact number or percentage of the layoff, while many other companies do at the moment of layoff. And the shadiness doesn't simply end here. I (joined less than 1 year ago) was dismissed by Coursera due to "performance issues" right after the global layoff, although the manager used to give me pretty positive feedback before the layoff (for which I have preserved evidence), and I was offered a tiny (<2 weeks) severance package, which I refused. In comparison, these laid-off employees got around 4 months of severance pay or more. By framing it as "dismissal" rather than "layoff", I think Coursera tries to circumvent government scrutiny and get away with paying less severance. And I believe I'm not alone. This shady business practice must be made known and punished. The severance they offered has violated the laws of my local jurisdiction based on my interpretation, and I am pursuing legal action against them. I was vigilant enough to keep some compelling evidence before termination. If you are also an ex-Courserian and want to sue Coursera, or if you know anyone who had a similar situation, please email excourseriansclassaction@gmail.com. Let's initiate a class action together. Even if you've already signed the termination letter, please also contact me, because this will provide me with valuable information and punish Coursera, and I might even be able to force Coursera to retrospectively compensate you. When you contact me, please share your date of termination and your alias at Coursera, together with a brief story of what happened to you. Please do it quickly! It is super important! #coursera #layoff #severance #lawsuit
This is a bad take and you’ll lose.
Hope you win OP. Good luck!
Thank you! And I wish you go through this downturn unscathed!
Thank you!
Hope you win. 2 weeks sounds ridiculous in current economy where it's challenging to find anything new. Companies think they have all the power because of their lawyers. Hope you win a fair settlement.
OP reminds me of that guy who devoted his life to attacking Loanstreet because he was fired before he could fully vest his $15K in paper money.
Get over it. How are you possibly that entitled?

Sure, but we should get justice first.
