They just laid off 120 people at RigUp.
😮 oh nooooo! They were growing so fast! I guess it makes sense with the drop in oil prices, but still feels really unexpected!! Did you get laid off?
No. But they were very shitty about it. The CEO made a quick announcement via a virtual townhall that left everyone in suspense for 2 hours and then computers just started shutting off and people getting kicked out of their emails or in the middle of online conferences. Very f’ed up. The worst part is they got rid of some of the most valuable employees that had been here since day 1, before RigUp became a thing. I’m not sure how they chose them, but they definitely made a huge mistake in who they let go. This company is gonna go down quick. The few of us that are left have already talked about leaving.
