Well four months after Juul pushed many of us out I thrilled to be working for a major competitor. This company recently went public and is now valued more than 10 times what Juul is. Am I lonely? Nope because many sales people I use to work with at Juul works here. I love being able to see the same great customers I had built a relationship with at Juul. Many didn't even know I was gone and we picked up where we left off. If this company moves into your area and you want to return to an awesome industry I suggest you look into it. #layoff #severance #juul #juullabs #vaping
I am pleased to read this very warm story. I hope some of the people that die from your work can take joy from reading it too.
Who did Juul kill? I’ll wait, how did you get to work at Google and not understand that the EVALI outbreak had nothing to do with Juul labs. I’m proud of my time there, we offered a smoking cessation product. We made mistakes early(an ad - a handful of campaigns). We’ve worked hard to right the wrongs. Smoking(nicotine) is highly correlated with specific chemical composition of your brain. M. Gladwell on Tipping point covered those research papers pretty well, it’s digestible for non-biologists. Juul and vaping is a HARM REDUCTION STRATEGY. Meaning the product you are trying to replace has been hard to eradicate, we offered an alternative tgat removed the 10K carcinogens. Since Juul and vaping came to be popularized the rate of persistent smoking 15-20% of the pop started taking an accelerated dip. Billions of cigarettes were NOT smoked as a result. Juul’s formulation that was later copied inspired a generation of companies. This formulations success in transitioning smokers is 10* more efficient. My friends and I, some more addicted that others transitioned. Half have vaped for a year, then lowered the dose, we have the occasional vape as we drink but feel liberated. So I ask you, was I supposed to smoke during this period? Was I supposed to chew on gums(5% success rate)? No before I joined Juul I transitioned, I had enough and felt sick, we run 10ks in the summer, we play soccer, golf often, in general I feel better. So when I joined Juul it was because I believed in the product. Respectfully, consider educating yourself in the full picture. This is not an absolution of what the company did wrong, that’s well recorded, it is about your condemnation of the good that was done bc you misunderstand bother the problem and the solution. Cigarettes kill about 400k Americans a year. Yes - more than Covid will.
Thanks for the story, genuinely.
I wouldn’t trust this poster. First off, their English is so broken. Guessing it’s someone from Relx who created this account. Everyone at Juul has and kept the Juul tag(see mine?) I was laid off too. Ignore
Not true. I lost my tag.
What’s going to happen to Juul?
What's your choice of poison? Lmao.

What is this new company’s mission? Is it to aid in smoking cessation or just to capitalize on people’s nicotine addictions? If it’s the former, how is the product and marketing plan designed to wean off customers from your product and nicotine altogether? How does it avoid introducing nicotine to new users (esp. youth)? If it’s the latter—or if the above considerations are not accounted for—then f*** this company and I hope it suffers the same fate as JUUL.
