Heavy Workload and Overtime No Clear Structure

But despite all of these positives, the way things ended was deeply disheartening. On June 23rd, I was one of 75 employees suddenly laid off during a five-minute Google Meet call with the CEO. There was no explanation, no clarity on how or why we were selected, and no room for dialogue. It was abrupt, impersonal, and frankly, shocking. We had been warned a few weeks earlier that, due to an ongoing lawsuit, our roles might not be secure come July but there was no follow-up, no transparency, and no support during that waiting period. The way the actual layoff was handled felt cold and devoid of empathy. It was not what I expected from a company that often talked about caring for its people. To be fair, the CEO did make a LinkedIn post endorsing those who were let go, and we were offered a prorated one-month severance. But those gestures didn’t take away from the emotional impact. Many of us were left feeling like we didn’t matter, like we were just numbers being crossed off a list. And while the company prided itself on having a culture of feedback, I found that feedback wasn’t always delivered in a way that encouraged growth. In several instances, mistakes were called out publicly in Slack channels instead of being handled privately and constructively. It didn’t feel like radical candor it felt like public shaming. That approach made it difficult to feel psychologically safe or to openly learn from errors.
