Well, after 5 years I was laid off suddenly with Talent showing up during my 1-on-1. Looks typical of Shopify to do this as this has happened to others I’ve worked with the past. This place is a mess, but will miss the people I worked with. Good luck to all those who remain! TC: 0 #ecommerce
Welcome brother. I too was sniped in the back for no disclosed reason. Always positive rating. Fuck em. Onwards we go
Sorry to hear that. I know it might be hard to get over but take a few days off and you will realize it's not that bad.
I was waiting for my new lead in my 1 on 1 after coming back from leave. It was not my new lead... But HR saying bye. I know the feeling.... Sorry to hear that :( take the time to recharge and enjoy the sudden time off.
Damn, masquerading a lay off call as a 1 to 1 is pretty cold.
Ya... It was a huge slap in the face. Shopify Wellness+Sunlife approved a 5 weeks progressive schedule. So they basically baited me back to work to fire me. I still don't understand... But it is what it is.
Where are you based? Were you fired or just laid off?
Sorry to hear, hope you are managing ok, because it's tough at first. Happened to me as well last week, me and the bulk of my team. :( Several orgs were affected recently because senior leadership has no clue what they are doing so we become the collateral damage. There will be life after Shopify.
Were you in support or a different org?

So sorry to hear that... Is data role safe at Shopify?
Would love to know what orgs/role you are in.
