My spouse has been asked to come backš Roblox tells employees they have to come to office three days a week or take severance https://www.cnbc.com/2023/10/17/roblox-tells-employees-they-have-to-come-to-office-three-days-a-week.html?__source=iosappshare%7Ccom.apple.UIKit.activity.CopyToPasteboard
Another day in corporate America.
Nah, in my 20 years, Roblox is a special kind of sh1tty.
What makes them special?

I'm in the process and considering joining. What is the vesting schedule? Is there a cliff for the first year? They seem to be heavily hiring.
Since you have an offer prob best to ask the recruiter
You in remote location ? Or in Bay Area ?
Is Roblox even open to full remote (for senior roles)?
Not anymore
At least they are offering severance. When Amazon enforced RTO couple months back, employees were given 30 days to make a decision to RTO/relocate near a hub office or resign. No severance.
That process is still going on. Some say they are informed that the voluntarily resigned and given they say; others are reporting sudden performance issues; and others have got no information.
Having worked at couple of other FAANGs and a few sketchy start ups, I can confidently say that Amazon is the scum of the tech world.
When I interviewed there they said they only let exceptional talent work remote. Donāt they only hire exceptional talent lol
š¤£
Exceptionally mid talent š
Getting paid high tc comes with itās baggage
Is it even high
It was one of the better ones at some point
Awww poor kiddos
Oof
At least they are offering severance. We didnāt get that luxury and tons of engineers at Roku have to leave without severance.
I thought Roku severance was 3-4 months for SWE ?
For laid off employees yes. With the 3 days per week RTO we had the option to either comply or ātalk to our HRBP to work on a transition planā, which in practice means no severance. If no compliance and not voluntarily resigning without severance, they threatened to just fire.
