I work at https://www.thras.io and we were told at 5:30 pm today we will get email tell us if we got laid off. WTF? Do you expect people to work till 5:30? And they hired like crazy in last 8 months only to find out they can’t keep up. Anyone from Thrasio have deets on this ?

Just kick back and play video games today. What are they going to do? Fire you? And if you aren't one of the unlucky, they no longer can afford to fire you as your team will be lean
Makes sense but I feel it would be better if they just told people this morning rather than create this 5:30 pm event where everyone waits the entire
Sorry to hear it, OP. Three people on my partner's team were laid off effective April 30. The layoffs are just starting.
What are your thoughts on Google, apple, Microsoft and Amazon doing layoffs?
Google, Apple, Microsoft and Apple have more capital set aside so are well positioned to ride out a recession. My partner got through the .Com bust and 2009 layoffs at Microsoft just fine. He is finishing out his career at a low-stress government contractor that is more sensitive to market fluctuations. I work with venture capital money that is starting to dry up which will impact startups in the next year. I was at the same firm in 2009 so have weathered a downturn before and know what it looks like.
Be careful, they might be monitoring vpn activity and keystrokes to figure out who keeps working. The ones who stop get laid off.
Good joke
Sorry. You’ll land on your feet.
Best way is no lay-offs. Organizations need to learn better planning
Growth isn’t usually linear. Just go look at Walmart over the years…
Keep us updated with more details at 5:30
Yeah will def update this thread with updates
What's the update?
Sorry to hear. DM for referrals.
You think Amazon would be interested in people coming from thrasio? Just curious.
I think there's a lot of roles Amazon is interested in literally anyone for at this point

Do they expect people to be perfectly fine and work as usual till 5:30? It’s creating anxiety . I wish they would Handle these scenarios better
Sorry you are in this situation and no, I don’t think anyone will be in a state of working mode. Do whatever keeps you occupied amid the chaos.
How do company usually do layoffs ? Is this normal ?
